Bicycling Science
by David Gordon Wilson
Bicycling Science by David Gordon Wilson
The bicycle is almost unique among human-powered machines in that it uses
human muscles in a near-optimum way. This new edition of the bible of bicycle
builders and bicyclists provides just about everything you could want to know
about the history of bicycles, how human beings propel them, what makes them
go faster, and what keeps them from going even faster. The scientific and
engineering information is of interest not only to designers and builders of
bicycles and other human-powered vehicles but also to competitive cyclists,
bicycle commuters, and recreational cyclists.
The third edition begins with a brief history of bicycles and bicycling that
demolishes many widespread myths. This edition includes information on recent
experiments and achievements in human-powered transportation, including the
"ultimate human- powered vehicle," in which a supine rider in a streamlined
enclosure steers by looking at a television screen connected to a small camera in
the nose, reaching speeds of around 80 miles per hour. It contains completely
new chapters on aerodynamics, unusual human-powered machines for use on
land and in water and air, human physiology, and the future of bicycling. This
edition also provides updated information on rolling drag, transmission of power
from rider to wheels, braking, heat management, steering and stability, power
and speed, and materials. It contains many new illustrations.
