How do you avoid \"cracking\" on a climb? What's the best way to improve mitochondrial performance? Should you ride harder into a headwind or with a tailwind at your back - and why should crosswinds be tackled diagonally? Can rougher fabrics sometimes be more aerodynamic? Is the peloton a superorganism and should we be afraid?!\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCycling melds the human body to an engineering marvel and pits them collectively against geography, gravity, and the elements. Little wonder, then, that the cycling experience - and your cycling form - is enriched and transformed by scientific understanding, to a greater extent than perhaps any other sport. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMore easy to digest and stimulating than an energy gel, and more visually stunning than a ride in the Alps, Science of Cycling takes the varied and remarkable science of the bicycle, the cyclist, and the bike race, and makes it accessible to everyone. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile knowledge is power, what you really want to know is how precisely it can boost your watts-to-kilogram ratio on the road. Which is why Science of Cycling translates all this know-how into practical steps to boost your cycling form, allowing you to create a full-spectrum training program of varied session rides, targeted strength exercises, bike handling practice, and efficient fueling regimes to help you get fitter, leaner, faster - and freer to roam. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWherever you want to take your love of two wheels - whether you just need to get out and get fit, start moving up the (virtual) bunch, or aim to climb the podium - Science of Cycling will get you there faster.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Bailey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798217126538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e DK Publishing (Dorling Kindersley)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/13\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs","brand":"David Bailey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962748424447,"sku":"9798217126538","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c49ac33-4aa0-47f4-8416-f218f9ceffa9.jpg?v=1750652411","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/science-of-cycling-david-bailey-9798217126538","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
