Let an expert show you how to improve your cycling. U.S. Olympic cycling manager Ed Burke presents practical "cyclist-to-cyclist" advice on how the heart, lungs, and muscles work and how you can use this knowledge to get the most out of your riding.

Ed Burke, Ph.D., one on the leading experts on sports medicine, is a professor and the director of the Exercise Science Program at the University of Colorado. He has written fourteen books and writes columns for Winning Magazine, Mountain Biker, Muscular Development, Nutritional Science News and NORBA News and answers fitness questions for a column in Bicycling Magazine.

Reviewers praise Burke's writing:

"Burke brings sport science out of the Olympic athlete arena and into everyone's life so that you too cann ride faster, stronger and more powerful."-- Chris Carmichael, 1996 Olympic Cycling Team Head Coach and Olympian Lance Armstrong's personal coach.

"Ed Burke writes in a clear, straightforward style that makes sport science easy to understand and to apply to our riding. Once again, he comes through for us with information about bicycling physiology, nutrition, training, and general cycling health issues. It's just what we want and need to know."-- Arnie Baker, M.D. -- 5-Time U.S. National Cycling Champion, author of six books on bicycling, and licensed Elite USCF coach whose riders have won more than 50 National Championships and set more than 20 U.S. records.
