Table of Contents below
This book is about general bicycle fit for road and mountain bike riding.
It also covers fit specifics for recreational,
climbing, sprinting, time trialing, and cross-country mountain biking.
I not only
give you my recommendations, I tell you why--discussing conventional wisdom,
empiricism, logic, and scientific study.
I offer information into the
behind-the-scenes debates of other experts. In each section, I put the important stuff first, then I provide details for those interested.
