Description

Discover the hard science that will help you cycle faster, endure for longer, and reach your peak of fitness

What causes an energy “bonk”? How do you avoid “cracking” on a climb? How does training differ for a mountain bike race compared to a road race? Is the peloton a superorganism?

Learn how to analyze key factors such as pedal stroke, fueling strategies, bike positioning, threshold power, and race tactics. Follow training plans tailored to different abilities and aims—and learn how to develop your own. Perform exercises and stretches to increase strength, improve your range of motion, and stay comfortable on the bike.

Wherever you want to take your love of two wheels, Science of Cycling will help you get there faster.
