In the 1990s the UK was as significant in the cycling world as it was in the bobsled world. Cycling was a continental sport, done only by eccentrics in the UK. The sport's governing body was a handful of old eccentrics. It was a shambles. But by 2008 Team GB, boosted by massive lottery funding and a hungry new generation of leaders, dominated Olympic cycling totally, winning eight out of ten gold medals on the track in Beijing. Soon, Team Sky, a British road racing squad with roots in that Olympic programme, would dominate the Tour de France. But now disaster looms. Allegations of sexism, bullying and complicity with drug taking threaten the reputation and the funding of British Cycling, the governing body. Peter Keen and Chris Boardman, followed by Dave Brailsford, Steve Peters and Shane Sutton created a new blueprint for performance. Does it represent a two-wheeled 'Moneyball', with lessons other organisations can learn from? Or was the stellar success of British Cycling down to a like-minded visionary group who got lucky with lottery funding? Is theirs a healthy culture, or has the will to win led to poor ethics and unfairness?

Book Effective Cycling PDF Free

Effective Cycling PDF By:John Forester Published on 1993 by MIT Press The core of John Forester's concept of Effective Cycling is that bicyclists fare best when they act, and are treated in return, as drivers of vehicles, with the same rights and responsibilities that motorists have.In this new edition of his classic introductory work, Forester reasserts this idea in terms of practice and education as well as theory while also addressing--among much else--the two major forces that have shaped bicycling since the early 1980s: the proliferation of high-quality equipment and the seriously insufficient progress on the social, political, and psychological fronts.The book is filled with details, strategies, and tips that will be useful both to occasional cyclists and to those who enjoy cycling as a way of life--all drawn from the author's many years of experience as a cyclist, a Cycling Transportation Engineer, and the founder of the Effective Cycling Program. This Book was ranked at...
