Ian Buchanan, SICI Core Instructor

Ian Buchanan holds degrees in secondary education and small business management and has worked in the cycling industry for fifteen years in both the retail and manufacturing sectors. While working with retailers and consumers from around the country, it became apparent to him that there was substantial interest in specialty bicycle fitting and performance assessment, but not many outlets offering the level of fitting many athletes were requesting. In 2001, Ian and his partner Sarah Shorett opened Fit Werx, a technology and research based fit studio and retailer, located in a town of 2000 people in central Vermont. Fit Werx has since grown into one of Serotta's top 5 dealers and works with riders from around the nation and the world. As a fitter, Ian's credentials include fit instruction for USA Triathlon's national coaching certification, writing Triathlete Magazine's "Tech Support" column six times annually, and providing consumer and professional fitting seminars regularly. He fits over 350 athletes a year ranging from first time riders to Olympians. Athletes Ian has built bikes and positions for include multiple age group winners at the Ironman World Championships in Kona, numerous pro and top amateur road racers (including multiple Collegiate National Champions), as well as Ironman winners and National Champions at the professional level.

Ian's fittings focus on stability and biomechanical alignment, rider education and awareness, and viewing each athlete as an individual. He has over ten years of experience with the biomechanics and alignment of the foot and leg in rigid soled footwear based sports and has made well over one thousand pair of sports based footbed support systems for athletes around the nation and the world. Ian has designed over 500 custom bicycles for athletes and consults with many manufacturers regularly regarding new and existing product development.
