Team Sponsors and Discounts
Below is a summary of our team sponsors and the discounts they provide. We can only share the exact discount information with team members.
Athletico Physical Therapy - Athletico Physical Therapy joined XXX Racing as a sponsor in 2002 and became our co-title sponsor in 2003. We are thrilled to be partnered with Chicago's finest source of physical therapy and sports medicine.
- Free assessment and injury screenings - Athletico can give you a free assessment (where you can discuss any issues and pain you are experiencing), and they can then determine whether they think your issue(s) can be addressed through physical therapy or whether your issue(s) need to be addressed by a physician. Early intervention of physical therapy can eliminate the need for unnecessary medication, surgery or extensive imaging tests – including X-Rays, MRIs and CT scans. And if you do need to see a specialist, Athletico's therapists can refer you to the right healthcare professionals.
- Discounts on massages (make sure to mention that you’re a member of XXX Racing-Athletico)
- Bike Fitting - Athletico offers bike fitting services at their Andersonville South location. As part of your physical therapy treatment, they can mount your bicycle on a stationary trainer and observe your riding it, look at your pedaling motion and posture on the bicycle, take key measurements of your body (e.g. the angles of your legs, arms, ankles, wrists, torso, neck, etc.), and determine if your bicycle needs to be adjusted. It could be that your bike fit is contributing to a loss of efficiency and power or is causing you discomfort or pain, and adjusting your bike fit (including things like handlebar height/reach, saddle height and fore/aft placement, and your pedal and shoe positioning) could make your more efficianet on the bike and alleviate issues you are experiencing.
- Typically the physical therapy and bike fit services can be covered by your health insurance.
- Athletico has hundreds of locations, including over 60 locations in the City of Chicago and over 100 additional locations in the suburbs. Different Athletico locations have therapists with various specialties, so be sure to check their website to find a location that can address whatever issue you are having. You can also reach out to the XXX Racing team management, and we can reach out to Athletico on your behalf if you have a specific need and want to find the best location to see a therapist.
- You no longer need a physician referral in order to obtain physical therapy services.
Freeman-Kevenides Law - In the unfortunate event that you and a driver or a pedestrian or another cyclist (or all three) collide, Jim Freeman and Brendan Kevenides at Freeman Kevenides Law Firm can help you. Freeman Kevenides Law Firm specializes in personal injury cases for cyclists.
Pactimo (custom cycling apparel) - Pactimo provides our custom team kits. We have a team kit order that typically gets sent to Pactimo in mid-January and gets delivered to our team members in mid to late February. It is also possible to order kit items throughout the season. Beyond our normal kit orders, Pactimo offers discounts on their non-custom apparel; we can share the discount code with you upon joining the team.
Peregrine Bicycle Studio (formerly Get A Grip Cycles)
- Peregrine Bicycle Studio (formerly Get A Grip Cycles) provides our team members with discounts off bikes and parts.
- Adam Kaplan, one of the co-owners, is widely regarded as one of the best bike fitters in the country.
- 24hr turnaround time on service when you make an appointment
- We also have planned some social get-togethers at Peregrine Cycling Studio (in the River North neighborhood) to watch some of the "Spring Classics" road races (e.g. Paris Roubaix, Milan-San Remo, Tour of Flanders, etc.) and World Cup Cyclocross, but of course the COVID-19 pandemic has made group gatherings problematic. We hope to schedule more events like this when it is safe to gather in groups.
