Cycling Literature
Hello,
So ive spent the past few weeks scouring the message boards for training tips but sometimes get lost in technical jargon or dissimilarities between myself and the thread starter. What literature would you recommend for a beginning cyclist? Ive heard the names Carmichael and Friel tossed around, but dont know what books of theirs are good for a starter. |

Re: Cycling Literature
Hi
Greg Lemond's complete cycling book of the 80's is easy to understand and follow. I agree with you that nowadays training advice is almost flooded with technical jargon. For me is always better to spend time out riding rather than becoming a training scholar ! Good luck  |
