Book Reviews of Andy Pruitt's Complete Medical Guide for Cyclists
Book Review: nice reference on position, chronic problems
Summary: 5 Stars
Hardly as comprehensive as its title implies, this book is nevertheless highly recommended as a guide to position and for general, especially position-related problems with cycling. Bike fit is a critical factor in avoiding overuse injuries, and this is the best guide I've seen on the subject.Book Review: Chapter on knees
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are like me and have taken up cycling because of knee problems, Chapter 5 makes this book worth the money. This is the single best description of common knee problems and advice that I have found. I have spent years researching knee problems and remedies, and stumbling across this book has been the best coup. If you suffer from knee problems but don't cycle, buy this book. If you are in the medical profession, buy this book because your patients will love you. I have seen close to 20 different doctors, physical therapists, and specialists and none could describe all of the common knee issues and problems this completely, simply, and thoroughly. Book Review: Keep me cycling
Summary: 4 Stars
Although no book can ever agree with every bit of cycling wisdom a keen rider picks up over the years - this one goes a long way to reinforcing what has become second nature in many instances for me. In addition to that, one bit of information has totally changed the way I ride, a fab way of compensating for unequal leg length without orthotics or cleat spacing. No more sores on one side because of slipping across the seat.
As to seat setback, top tube and stem length and the way it relateds to rider centre of gravity, I must say I think that Keith Bontrager with his "myth of KOPS" (search google) has the best word, complex tho.
This guy Pruitt is pretty hot in my mind, he'd have to be to write this book.
Book Review: Good Read
Summary: 4 Stars
This book has some great information in it. I wish it would have more detailed info regarding injuries and different aches and pains. It runs through this info pretty quickly.
All in all a nice cycling reference book.
