Independent Cycles was founded in 2026, built on more than 45 years of combined experience between Ryan Tibbs and Chris Burnham across every corner of the cycling world—professional mechanics, precision bike fitting, performance coaching, product development, and competitive racing. That depth of knowledge means you’re not just getting a tune-up or a fitting—you’re getting the insight of riders and technicians who understand how every detail affects speed, comfort, and confidence on the bike.

Our mission is simple: to make every ride better. We do that through meticulous maintenance and repair, expert positioning with professional bike fitting, and a level of personal service that puts riders first. Whether you’re chasing race results, weekend adventures, or simply a smoother commute, Independent Cycles is here to help you get more out of every mile.

With a foundation in biomechanics and exercise science, Chris Burnham has personally fit more than 1,500 athletes—from first-time riders to seasoned professionals. That experience has shaped a simple belief: no two cyclists move the same, and no two riders should be positioned the same.

Our approach is built around the individual. Flexibility, riding history, goals, and natural movement patterns all play a role in finding a truly optimized position. We don’t rely on generic formulas or cookie-cutter measurements. Instead, we combine on- and off-the-bike assessments, high-speed video analysis, and advanced pedaling analytics to uncover the position that delivers the best balance of comfort, efficiency, and performance for each rider.
