Juli Hirata is a solo bike touring advocate who decided one day that she needed a change in her life. She sold off all her belongings, left her life behind, and decided to embark on an epic adventure riding from Alaska to Argentina.

"My goal when I started this trip was to be in contact with nature with low environmental impact, but with time it grew as an expression of my love for people and freedom. The more time I get on the bike the more I can experience and collect stories along the way."

Juli decided to get a Retül Fit with Certified Fitter Bruno Rosa of to be more comfortable and improve her performance, so she could spend more time experiencing everything her bike had to offer.

Juli's story is not without its challenges, to say the least, but through it all she continues to see the light in times of dark.

Remember when you were first learning how to ride a bike? Did you ever stop to think that maybe it could have been easier if you were set up in a better riding position?

The days of low saddle heights and high handlebars are quickly becoming a thing of the past when it comes to kids learning to ride. These factors can actually do more harm than good, making it harder to pedal, difficulty keeping up their speed and even effecting their steering and handling.
