ACE Training for Cyclists


By Arnie Baker, M.D.

This eBook is about Altitude/Climbing/Endurance training. Arnie Baker, M.D. emphasizes preparation for hilly centuries and events beyond 100 miles with more than 10,000 feet of climbing. In addition to general training and knowledge, ACE riders need to be specialists in climbing, descending and endurance. Motivation, focus, breathing techniques and pacing are especially important. And coping with altitude’s effects is crucial. Riding 100 or more miles in one day with two miles of climbing is not for everyone. But if it's for you, ACE Training for Cyclists will make the going easier and faster. This eBook has 126 pages with 33 illustrations. [PDF file size: 3.6 MB] Tips for printing an eBook.

Climbing for Roadies
 

By Fred Matheny

This eBook recognizes that few cyclists are "born to climb" in terms of genetic endowment, but every cyclist can reach his or her potential.

There are no shortcuts, but Coach Fred Matheny explains what to do (and what to avoid doing) for maximum progress. Climbing for Roadies also contains a chapter on fast-but-safe descending and interviews with 4 talented climbers for inside advice in their own words. This is a 119-page eBook with 29 photos.

Cycling Science

A CD Containing all 23 Issues of this
Technical Journal for Bicycling Enthusiasts

 

Cycling Science was a highly regarded magazine published in California from late 1989 to mid 1997. It was the creation of Chester Kyle, Ph.D. and Ed Burke, Ph.D. -- two Americans recognized as world leaders in cycling technology and physiology. This compact disc contains every page of all 23 issues, scanned in color with covers, photos, diagrams, charts and other graphics intact. Even advertisements are included, providing an interesting window into what was important in the 1990s.

Read in today's light, the evolving technologies and predictions of cycling's future are fascinating and even entertaining. It's also impressive to see how much has proved to be dead-on accurate and as relevant today as it was 10 or 15 years ago.

This important collection is offered as a CD instead of an eBook because of the size of each Cycling Science issue -- around 24MB. All 23 issues containing 102 articles cost just $23.95 with no additional charge for shipping & handling. The original subscription price for the complete set of magazines would have exceeded $150. See delivery information.

Keep it Real - In Your Indoor Cycling Classes

By Jennifer Sage

This eBook is devoted to showing roadies how they can use indoor cycling classes such as Spinning® to improve outdoor riding performance.

However, organized indoor classes can also be a disaster, wasting your time, your energy, your money and even causing injury. The key is knowing which drills, exercises and movements are worth your effort and which to avoid. Armed with this knowledge and Jennifer's expert training advice, you can "Keep it Real" indoors so the benefits will be as real as possible outdoors. The eBook contains 179 pages with 18 photos.

A Rider's Guide to

Building the Long Distance Bicycle

 

By David Rowe

Cyclists who enjoy riding long distances will tell you they need a bicycle that is comfortable, durable and fast. But few can translate their needs into specifics about the frame geometry, materials, components, wheels and tires required to make it all come together. The result: Most riders are working harder and feeling more discomfort (even pain) than necessary. So, what are the essential elements of the long distance bicycle? And, how does this type of bike differ from those designed for racing or touring? A Rider's Guide to Building the Long Distance Bicycle has the expert answers, captured by distance cyclist and author David Rowe as moderator of a panel discussion with four leading cycling authorities. This eBook has 64 pages with 21 photos. [PDF file size: 1.53 MB] Tips for printing an eBook. See delivery schedule & refund policy.
