Bicycle Engineering explores the intricate science behind the design of bicycles, a seemingly simple machine optimized for speed, comfort, and efficiency. The book delves into the crucial aspects of frame geometry and materials, highlighting how these elements affect handling and stability. For instance, the evolution from uncomfortable "boneshakers" to modern designs showcases the continuous refinement driven by technological advancements. Additionally, the book examines drivetrain mechanics and aerodynamics, crucial for translating rider input into motion and reducing drag, respectively.

The book takes a comprehensive approach, beginning with fundamental concepts of mechanics, materials science, and aerodynamics. Subsequent chapters delve into frame geometry, drivetrain mechanics, and aerodynamics, culminating in a discussion of future trends like electric bicycles. Empirical data and simulations support the arguments presented, offering an evidence-based analysis. This book will enhance enthusiasts' understanding and appreciation of bicycle technology.
