Praise for Massage for Cyclists: "Massage for Cyclists came at a most opportune time as we have many new riders and racers preparing for the upcoming season here in Southern California. The text is extremely informative and got fabulous reviews from the nearby physical therapy/sports medicine office." --Daniel Cheng, Proformance "I know from experience how good daily massage feels during a week-long cycling tour. But I seldom find the time and inspiration to incorporate it into my regular training. This book helps. The large format, oversized type and step-by-step photos make Massage for Cyclists user friendly. Massage for Cyclists also includes complete pre-and post-ride massage routines for two, perfect for the couple that tandems, stretches, and massages together." --Doug Barber, Tandem and Family Cycling Magazine Author Roger Pozeznik is a sport massage therapist who has worked in professional cycling and who has participated in such events as the 1990 Goodwill Games, the Race Across America, and the 1996 Olympics.
