If you've ever wanted to understand the science behind cycling, this book is an excellent read. About as enjoyable as a science book can get. The author explores many everyday cycling phenomena and explains what's going on, giving the reader a better understanding to apply technique and strategy.For example, when coming to a short and steep downhill road, followed by a short uphill, is it better to: 1) speed up in the beginning and try to coast fast downhill and hopefully coast up the hill; 2) save your energy on the downhill and pedal uphill or 3) some combination of the two.Read the book and the author explains, via computations for work and energy which approach is most efficient.
