Dr. Andy Pruitt, whose professional legacy includes the pioneering of 3-D bike fits, three patents for the development of Specialized Body Geometry shoes and saddles, all of which are designed to help optimize performance and comfort based on individual anatomy.
Dr. Pruitt has spent his entire career helping thousands of riders from Tour de France contenders to local racers achieve their own brand of freedom and comfort on the bike. He served as director of sports medicine at the University Of Colorado and was a founder and director of the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine.
