It would seem that it could be easier to ride a bicycle? Here is your two-wheeled iron horse, here you are - you jumped on your bike and rode off into the sunset. It's more complicated than that, though. The purpose of Bicycling: How to Train, Not Ride, is to describe the hard truths of professional athletes in an easy-to-understand manner and suggest some ways to apply them to your everyday riding. Some techniques may be very useful for you, others may not. But rest assured, if you make it a point to organize your training around just some of the concepts covered in the pages of this book, you'll ride faster and pedal much easier. Everything is so simple and obvious.
