There's a new shop in Walnut Creek, R&A Cycles, and from what they told me they have a full time bike fitter who comes in to their store to do fits. I can't vouch for his ability, but are there bad bike fitters lol? Seems like a pretty specialized niche profession, so one would think as long as it's not the 16 year old store mechanic who also does it, I would assume they all know what they are doing...

I've been fitted by Pedro Dungo in the Marina, he's good:

Before opting for Pedro, I considered Ryan Moore:

InvertedMP - I recommend a couple things before your appointment:
1. Ride for 5-10 miles and arrive limber. My seating position changes after half an hour of riding.
2. If you're thinking of changing to a longer (or shorter) stem, bring the second stem with you.

I did a fitting with Ryan Moore when he was at 3D Bike Fit in San Francisco back in 2014. Good experience, would definitely recommend!

I had a fitting at Zealot Cycleworks San Ramon in January, and a recent tune-up.
Dimas did a great job.

OK I did my fit finally! Did it at R&A in Walnut Creek with Arland. He spent about 4 hours with me, and it was an extremely thorough and eye opening experience. I learned a ton about my self and it was so much fun to feel the positive changes in the bike. Couldn't recommend them enough!
