Bicycling Science, Second Edition Review
Bicycling Science, Second Edition Overview
The second edition of Bicycling Science includes new information on recent achievements and experiements in human-powered transportation, from the "ultimate human-powered vehicle" (UHPV), in which supine riders can achieve speeds well over 60 mph, to human-powered aircraft, boats, and rail transportation. New chapters cover the history of bicycle and human-power technology and science and the speed-power relationships of various modes and vehicles, including performance predictions for the UHPV and the "commuter human-powered vehicle."
