  Competition cycling is a sport with its own traditions, its own traditions, its own jargon and its own bewildering structure. In this book, author William Fotheringham guides the reader through the various types of cycle racing, what they offer, and how to get started. Every facet of the sport is covered - road racing, time trialling, mountain biking, track racing, cyclo-cross - and there are detailed sections on equipment, health, nutrition and tactics, as well as advice on how to race and train for each of the different areas of cycling. Aimed primarily at cyclists young and old, who wish to become involved in the race scene, the book also contains valuable advice for the more experienced rider, plus practical tips from current racers.
