Summary

It's not (just) about the bike. Ride your bike long enough and you're likely to get injured. It's not what cyclists want to hear, but it's the hard truth.

Cycling is a rapidly growing sport, and as cyclists increase, so does the number of injuries. What do you do if you get injured? Rest? Continue to ride? To avoid further complications and more harmful injuries resulting in substantial time off the bike, these questions need answering.

This book takes you through the most common cycling injuries, breaking down exactly what they are, why you get them, and what you can do to get rid of them and get back on your bike pain-free.
