Who teaches you

Gino Moretti

Ciao, I'm Gino Moretti, from Bergamo. I raced as a professional domestique from 1976 to 1984.

Then for 40 years I built steel frames by hand in my workshop, and I fitted bikes for more than 5,000 riders, many of them in their sixties and seventies.

Today I still climb the hills above Bergamo three times a week.

In my workshop we fix the sore saddle, the numb hands, the stiff neck and back, the knees that complain after every ride, and the hills that make you stop halfway. Small changes, one at a time, the way a craftsman works.

The bike must fit you. You never fit the bike.

Before you buy

Questions

I already have pain in my seat, knees or back. Is this for me?

The books change how your bike fits and how you ride, so the strain goes down. They are not medical advice: if something hurts, stop and see your doctor.

I've ridden for years. Will I learn anything?

Yes. The books are for road riders who already ride and want to keep riding, with less pain and easier hills.

How do I get the books?

They arrive instantly after you pay. Read them on any screen, or print the pages and cards.

Can I make the letters bigger?

Yes. Zoom in as much as you like on your phone, tablet or computer, or print the pages at home.

Can I buy just one book?

Yes: Vol. I $27, Vol. II $47, Vol. III $87. All three together are $97.

Is the payment secure?

Yes. You pay on a secure checkout with your card or PayPal.

What if it's not for me?

You're covered by a 7-day money-back guarantee. Ask within 7 days and you get every cent back.

All three books. Ride strong, without the pain.

Three books, one price, and 7 days to try the method on your own bike.
