Cycling Speed

“Cycling Speed” explores the science behind how cyclists achieve incredible velocities, blending sports and science to uncover the secrets of speed in competitive cycling. It highlights the crucial role of aerodynamics, revealing how cyclists and engineers work to minimize wind resistance, a force that dramatically impacts performance. The book also delves into the human engine, dissecting the physiological elements like power output and biomechanics that enable athletes to generate speed and sustain it throughout grueling races like the Tour de France. This book uniquely integrates scientific principles with real-world applications, presenting information in an accessible way for both enthusiasts and serious racers.”

“Cycling Speed” begins by establishing a foundation in cycling physics and aerodynamics, then transitions into the physiology of cycling, covering metabolic and biomechanical aspects. Finally, it analyzes various race strategies and tactics, concluding with a look at future trends in cycling technology.
