If you love cycling but are tired of listening to folklore advice this is the book for you. Each chapter is written by an expert in the respective field and is based on both their experience and lots of published research. Whereas books like "The Cyclists Training Bible" expect you to trust them based on the fact that they wrote a book and it is published, and people have followed it. "Performance Cycling: The Science of Success" has 10 pages of scientific journal sources in the back of the book, broken up by which chapter the information was used in.
