Velopress Heart Zones Cycling Books Velopress Velopress Heart Zones Cycling: Beginning and intermediate cyclists can use this no-nonsense training philosophy based on the heart rate monitor to build a personal and practical plan to realise their fitness goals and increase their their enjoyment of the sport. More than just a book on heart rate monitors, Heart Zones Cycling is a highly individualised training philosophy for beginner to intermediate cyclists. Beginning with the lifestyle and unique profile of the rider, Sally Edwards and Sally Reed have broadened their approach to cycling in this new complement to The Heart Rate Monitor Book for Cyclists. Edward and Reed were the first to build a training program around the heart rate monitor. Heart rate monitors have become increasingly sophisticated and even more accessible to athletes to athletes of varied experience. Heart Zones Cycling fills the need for an entry-level book for riders of all body types and ability levels, incorporating technology as a tool for maximising enjoyment of the sport, and ultimately giving people a means to personalize their fitness with a dynamic and practical plan for training. This book is intended for the more casual cyclist who is more likely to train to ride in bike tours rather than competitive racing, or simply interested in incorporating cycling as a recreational means to fitness Because it is written more like a general fitness title, looking to inspire while also equipping the rider with a feasible plan for success that is highly personalised, this would also be a good fit for broader media where sports is a feature rather than a focus 296 pages 240mm x 190mm Authors: Sally Reed & Sally Edwards ISBN: 1-931382-84-0 Review this product |

Penguin Its All About The Bike Books Penguin Penguin Its All About the Bike: The bicycle is one of mankind's greatest inventions - the most efficient self-powered means of transportation ever invented It's All about the Bike is written by Robert Penn who has ridden a bike most days of his adult life. In his late-20s, he pedalled 40,000kms around the world. He's in the middle of a long love affair with the bicycle. Yet, like cyclists everywhere, the utilitarian bike he currently owns doesn't even hint at this devotion. Penn needs a new bike, a bike that reflects how he feels when he's riding it - like an ordinary man touching the gods So Penn has designed and built his dream bike. He's got an artisan in Stoke to hand-build a bespoke frame; he's travelled to San Francisco for the perfect wheel, from Padua to Provence to find the perfect components - parts that set the standard in reliability, craftsmanship and beauty. En route, he tells the stories of the science, history and culture of bicycles, extracting pertinent and quirky stories - the role of the bicycle in women's liberation, the marvel of the tangent-spoked wheel, the quasi-religious admiration for Fausto Coppi in Italy - that explain why we ride, and why this simple machine remains central to humanity in the 21st century Review this product |
