Anatomy of Cycling

2013 • 160 pages

I might be a meathead jerk, but I'm pretty sure these bodyweight strength exercises are not quite what I need to continue to support my cycling habit. It's hard to imagine being able to up the resistance without weight or clearer descriptions of how to scale these exercises. One line that totally pissed me off in the intro about picking a bike on body type was: “If you have a significant amount of weight to lose...” People can be heavy and want to ride for fun AND need better constructed bikes to handle it without your judgy mcPants commentary Laurita! You could have just said heavier than average or over 300lbs (or whatever the usual weight limits are on bicycles, IDK) Anyway! All the flexibility and balance exercises might be useful still, because that is my particular weakness.

*side note: all the human anatomy illustrations strike me as super odd, sometimes they gave women sports bras, sometimes they just had pecs, and the man was just “tastefully nude” in the one where there was skin + muscle.
