The bicycle is almost unique among human-powered
machines in that it uses human muscles in a near-optimum way. This new
edition of the bible of bicycle builders and bicyclists provides just
about everything you could want to know about the history of bicycles,
how human beings propel them, what makes them go faster, and what keeps
them from going even faster. The scientific and engineering information
is of interest not only to designers and builders of bicycles and other
human-powered vehicles but also to competitive cyclists, bicycle
commuters, and recreational cyclists.

The third edition begins with a brief history of bicycles and bicycling
that demolishes many widespread myths. This edition includes
information on recent experiments and achievements in human-powered
transportation, including the "ultimate human- powered vehicle," in
which a supine rider in a streamlined enclosure steers by looking at a
television screen connected to a small camera in the nose, reaching
speeds of around 80 miles per hour. It contains completely new chapters
on aerodynamics, unusual human-powered machines for use on land and in
water and air, human physiology, and the future of bicycling. This
edition also provides updated information on rolling drag, transmission
of power from rider to wheels, braking, heat management, steering and
stability, power and speed, and materials. It contains many new
illustrations.
