The place was kind of an outpost of continental cycling, with road races banned and "secret" time trials. Great stuff--keep it going!Sprocketboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00002657522696618715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13887692.post-43362965234483057632009-05-02T10:04:00.000-04:002009-05-02T10:04:00.000-04:00Friends,

Clarification from DGW is that he is still riding, and has not totally stopped. He prefers his semi-recumbent to his recumbent due to knee problems.Ron Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394865788996482667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13887692.post-48896635337658770262009-05-02T06:27:00.000-04:002009-05-02T06:27:00.000-04:00Ron,

Pretty cool.'<br /><br /><br />Chris : I just looked up that book, and indeed, it looks pretty cool. Its not the first book on the topic but it might have information that others dont?<br /><br /><br />Blue : Glad you're enjoying it man. Hang in there :)<br /><br /><br />ChicagoBIKENOOB : What a name you have there! You're not the only ChicagoBIKENOOB, are you? Yeah, you never know what'd interest you unless you read it. Although there's a lot of physics and equations in Bicycling Science, its only food for thought. Infact, if you asked me recommend you one good book for cycling, it would be this. Reading some of the truths in the book could save you a lot of money over the long run.

I have heard from many places that Bicycling Science is like a bible of cycling books. I never bothered to get a copy for myself, because I didn't know if I'd be interested in the subject matter (too technical?). However, after reading your posts about the author...I'll say I'll make an effort!ChicagoBIKENOOBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13887692.post-38490380274502617982009-04-30T20:37:00.000-04:002009-04-30T20:37:00.000-04:00Thanks so much Ron for this fine interview.

It can be used for many other uses around the house. It puzzles me that people who support riding bicycles don't explore pedal powered replacement opportunities within their households. Not many people do that. One of the good books that talk about how laymen can do this is called The Human Powered Home : Choosing Muscles Over Motors by Tamara Dean.
