The Secret of Cycling: Maximum Performance Gains Through Effective Power Metering and Training Analysis

The Secret of Cycling is your backstage pass to how the human engine really works on a bike. If you’ve ever wondered how much power you can produce, how much you actually need in different conditions, or how to use a power meter without getting lost in the numbers, this book lays it all out in a clear, no‑nonsense way.

You’ll get a step‑by‑step look at every factor that affects your speed and performance: training, nutrition, body weight, bike weight, aerodynamics, wheels, frames, hills, wind, temperature — even the science behind the hour record. It’s packed with full‑colour visuals, practical examples, and easy‑to‑read graphs that make the complex stuff feel simple.

You’ll also learn how to balance your own power output with the demands of the road, and how to use that knowledge to train smarter, race faster, and get up to 20% fitter. Already a bestseller in the Netherlands and Belgium, The Secret of Cycling has earned its reputation as the go‑to performance guide for serious cyclists and coaches who want real results, not guesswork.
