High-Tech Cycling For All
This is a very scientific publication which can escape the interest and desire of those not serious about cycling. For those that want the edge for performance and racing knowledge, this book is for you. It is full of data that compares theories and applied sciences to biking. At times this information can be dry, but for those serious about biking, it is essential.
This book gives you the knowledge to make you ride your fastest, to have the Edge over your competitors, and to have the performance over your bicycling colleages. It covers cycling equipment, body positioning, cadence, cycling biomechanics, high altitude training, and nutrition. The information is current and thorough.
So much change
Riding a lot 10+ years ago, and starting again this year, I needed an upgrade. I picked this book up to help bring me into the current era and I wasn't disapointed.
My first dive into the book focused on the peddaling, heart rate and nutritional areas. After reading this, I really felt like I could sift thru a lot more of the (mis-)information that I was hearing. I don't ever expect to be this level of a cyclist, but it was great to learn about what really makes a difference - and what (at least as far as the current studies show) doesn't.
Nicely put together!
Over the Top
This was an interesting book but not particularly what I was looking for. I was looking for a book about riding technique to improve my efficiency. With the exception of a few paragraphs here and there, this book went deep into design physics of components, etc., etc. It would be great if you were into research and development of cycling compenents. However interesting it may have been, almost every chapter ended with a phrase that went something like this, "The research is inconclusive because of...."
