Rezension zu „Glaskin, M: Cycling Science “
'a handsome-looking, hardback tome, with nearly 200 glossy pages of thoughtfully-laid out text, photos and colour diagrams.' Bike Soup.cc 'a fascinating introduction to the complexities of what we do with the simple bicycle.' BikeBiz 'a fascinating read ... a great book for the two-wheeled aficionado' BBC Focus magazine "rather than sucking the joy out of cycling with the appliance of complex science, this fascinating read instead brings a very accessible new perspective through easy-to-understand language and plenty of images. There's loads here you can apply to your own riding as well, for your very own 'marginal gains' strategy.' Cycling Active
