The Bicycle Racing Guide: Technique and Training for Bicycle Racers and Triathletes

Individual Sports

World champion at 19... One of the first black athletes to become world champion in any sport... 1-mile record holder... American sprint champion in 1898, 1899, 1900... triumphant tours of Europe and Australia... Victories against all European champions...
Until now a forgotten, shadowy figure, Marshall Walter "Major" Taylor is here revealed as one of the early sports world's most stylish, entertaining, and gentlemanly personalities. Born in 1878 in Indianapolis, the son of poor rural parents, Taylor worked in a bike shop until prominent bicycle racer "Birdie" Munger coached him for his first professional racing successes in 1896. Despite continuous bureaucraticâ€”and, at times, physicalâ€”opposition, he won his first national championship two years later and became world champion in 1899 in Montreal. This beautifully illustrated, vividly narrated, and scrupulously researched biography recreates the life of a great international athlete at the turn of the century. Based on ten years of researchâ€”including extensive interviews with Major Taylor's 91-year old daughterâ€”this is the dramatic story of a young black man who, against prodigious odds, rose to fame and stardom in the tempestuous world of international professional bicycle racing a century ago.

Van Der Plas, Robert

What you eat is what you are, and the right diet will help your cycling. Much research has been done on the effect of diet on performance in cycling and other sports. Yet there is hardly a subject about which more preconceived notions and outright wrong information are propounded. Medically correct, yet easy to understand, this book explains what to watch out for when determining which diet is right for you, and how your diet will help you enjoy cycling to the fullest, whether for recreation, touring or competition.
