From bone structure to physiology to ageing patterns,
women are different from men, yet most serious cycling
books fail to take into account the particular concerns
of female athletes. In Bicycling for Women, cycling
authority Gale Bernhardt discusses all things female for
beginning and intermediate cyclists. Comprehensive and
scientific, Bernhardt's presentation is up-to-date,
smart, and easily understood. She addresses basic
questions on bike fit, equipment, and training before
moving on to the additional issues specific to women,
such as cycling and pregnancy, injury prevention for
women, nutrition and diet plans for the female athlete,
and tips for making cycling more comfortable. Encouraging
for newcomers and invigorating for experienced athletes
with new goals, Bicycling for Women is an indispensable
resource for women who enjoy fitness and love to ride.
