Bicycling Science Summary
Bicycling Science Reviews
"The human being used as an engine may not be the way you look at a bicycle, but that's how nature looks at it. This exceptional book analyzes, compares and judges the measurable aspects of people-power and the bicycle being ridden .... Happily, [the authors) haven't hidden the findings in a mass of jargon. The chapter on bicycle physics will get most readers to a useful level of understanding. The chapter on people-powered devices other than bicycles is fascinating."- J. Baldwin, "The CoEvolution Quarterly"
"The technical discussion is presented for the intelligent layman, and the book will interest bicycle racers, serious bicycle tourists, and man-powered transportation enthusiasts. A landmark reference."- "Library Journal"
