Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Element is an excerpt from Crossing the Energy Divide (ISBN: 9780137015443) by Robert U. Ayres and Edward H. Ayres. Available in print and digital formats. How electric bikes may help reshape urban transportation--slashing fuel use and carbon emissions, and improving convenience, too. Battery-equipped electric-bikes have the potential to change the commuter game radically. Even if limited to 15-20 mph, they’ll be able to use the bike paths or reserved lanes many cities are building into their plans. If just 20-30% of short urban trips shift to “e-bikes,” fuel use will drop enough to help bridge us to a cleaner, more secure energy future....

Book excerpt: E-bikes can significantly enhance adoption of cycling as an urban transportation mode and have the advantage of low space requirements, very small operational GHG emissions, and a negligible contribution to infrastructure degradation. This work explores some key environmental and physical performance features of E-bikes in real world settings in order to systematically determine the capabilities of E-bikes for greater adoption. This includes analysis on the lifecycle emissions associated with E-bikes and comparisons with other major urban modes. Empirical data was collected about the performance of a third-party electric motor technology that could improve energy efficiency. The ability of this technology to offer improvements under real world conditions was verified and showed promise with recommendations for further development. A trial of E-bikes deployed in a corporate fleet, with 17 riders and over 600 km of trip data was completed and used for several additional analyses. This include validating a mathematical model of an E-bike, as well as extending the boundaries of previous lifecycle research to include upstream dietary emissions associated with human supplied mechanical power while riding an E-bike. The results in this thesis show both the strengths of E-bikes as used for corporate and personal transportation, as well as the barriers that still remain for greater adoption.

Download or read book Training and Racing with a Power Meter, 2nd Ed. written by Hunter Allen and published by VeloPress. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hunter Allen and Andy Coggan, PhD have completely revised the book that made power meters understandable for amateur and professional cyclists and triathletes. Power meters have become essential tools for competitive cyclists and triathletes. No training tool can unlock as much speed and endurance as a power meter--for those who understand how to interpret their data. A power meter displays and records exactly how much energy a cyclist expends, which lends unprecedented insight into that rider's abilities and fitness. With the proper baseline data, a cyclist can use a power meter to determine race strategy, pacing, and tactics. Training and Racing with a Power Meter makes it possible to exploit the incredible usefulness of the power meter by explaining how to profile strengths and weaknesses, measure fitness and fatigue, optimize workouts, time race readiness, and race using power. This new edition: Enables athletes to predict future performance and time peak form Introduces fatigue profiling, a new testing method to pinpoint weaknesses Includes two training plans to raise functional threshold power and time peaks for race day Offers 75 power-based workouts tuned for specific training goals This updated edition also includes new case studies, a full chapter on triathlon training and racing, and improved 2-color charts and tables throughout. Training and Racing with a Power Meter, will continue to be the definitive guide to the most important training tool ever developed for endurance sports.

Download or read book Bicycling Science, third edition written by David Gordon Wilson and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2004-03-19 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new, updated edition of a popular book on the history, science, and engineering of bicycles. The bicycle is almost unique among human-powered machines in that it uses human muscles in a near-optimum way. This new edition of the bible of bicycle builders and bicyclists provides just about everything you could want to know about the history of bicycles, how human beings propel them, what makes them go faster, and what keeps them from going even faster. The scientific and engineering information is of interest not only to designers and builders of bicycles and other human-powered vehicles but also to competitive cyclists, bicycle commuters, and recreational cyclists. The third edition begins with a brief history of bicycles and bicycling that demolishes many widespread myths. This edition includes information on recent experiments and achievements in human-powered transportation, including the "ultimate human- powered vehicle," in which a supine rider in a streamlined enclosure steers by looking at a television screen connected to a small camera in the nose, reaching speeds of around 80 miles per hour. It contains completely new chapters on aerodynamics, unusual human-powered machines for use on land and in water and air, human physiology, and the future of bicycling. This edition also provides updated information on rolling drag, transmission of power from rider to wheels, braking, heat management, steering and stability, power and speed, and materials. It contains many new illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Time-Crunched Cyclist reveals the fastest way to get fit for road racing, century rides, gravel grinders, cyclocross, Gran Fondos, and mountain bike events. With elite cycling coach Chris Carmichael’s innovative, time-saving approach, busy cyclists will develop fitness, speed, and power in just 6 hours a week. Now powered by Strava, this updated third edition of The Time-Crunched Cyclist training program taps into the most popular cycling social network to help cyclists get fired up to crush their workouts, one segment at a time. Through his popular endurance coaching service, Carmichael noticed that many busy cyclists are unable to make performance gains using conventional training methods; they simply don’t have enough time to train. So CTS developed a new approachthe Time-Crunched Training Programto help cyclists achieve competitive fitness and power without the impossible time demands of traditional training methods. The Time-Crunched Cyclist shows cyclists how to build fitness on a realistic schedule by tapping the power of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts. Cyclists learn the science behind this alternative approach to training before performing the CTS field tests to get a baseline reading of their fitness. Nine comprehensive training plans include effective time-crunched workouts, nutrition guidelines, and strength training to develop the speed and endurance for a wide variety of cycling races and events. The new Time-Crunched Training Plans cover: New and Experienced plans for criteriums, road races, and cyclocross New, Experienced, and Competitive plans for century rides and Gran Fondos Gravel racing and ultraendurance mountain biking plans Intermediate and Advanced plans for commuters This new, third edition integrates Strava, the popular ride tracking and analysis program. Powered by Strava, the Time-Crunched program becomes interactive, social, highly motivatingand focuses riders on the training data that matters most. It also adds the Time-Crunched Diet, a sports nutrition approach designed to help riders optimize their power-to-weight ratio with new guidelines on eating behaviors and delicious recipes from chefs Michael Chiarello and Matt Accarrino. A new chapter on hydration and managing heat stress will show athletes simple ways to avoid overheating that lead to better performance. The Time-Crunched Cyclist can help you capture your best performanceall in the time you have right now.

Author and illustrator Allan Drummond returns with the story of the people that paved the way for safe biking around the world.
