He developed a deep fascination in the biomechanics of cycling due to his inside knowledge of the sport as well as injuries from his own racing. Steve Hogg, a world renowned bike fit specialist from Sydney, Australia, worked with Tim for three years to overcome a forced hiatus from cycling due to an injury in Tim’s early career and inspired him to develop Greshfit Cycle Fitting Service in 2008.
