5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent guide to achieving cycling fitness, 4 Jan 2002
By A Customer
Every cyclist interested in improving their fitness should read this book.

There are sections on racing, time-trialling and weight training. Particularly useful is the programme of turbo trainer workouts, with either a progressive 12 week programme or specific workouts to choose from.

The writing style is friendly, down-to-earth and encouraging too. Arnie Baker is a championship-winning cyclist, as well as a doctor, so he combines his real-world experience with scientific backup.

You will definitely want to get out on your bike and give it a go having read this!

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth it for the turbo sessions alone, 10 Aug 2008
By S. Reynolds (South Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A very comprehensive book with some excellent indoor turbo trainer sessions for those of us that hate the contraptions and need every possible incentive to use one (other than the fear of being slow in the summer). The training programmes are all laid out in an easy to follow way, and to be honest if you followed them religiously then you would be bound to see an improvement. However, since I'd rather cut my legs off with a blunt hacksaw than ride a turbo it hasn't worked for me...
