Bike Racing 101 - the book

By Kendra Wenzel and René Wenzel, with contributions by Scott Saifer

"After years of feeling like there was no newer book out there that addresses the beginning racer and answers questions about beginning form, skills, and tactics, we teamed up with Human Kinetics publishers to put together Bike Racing 101.

This book represents over 50 combined years of experience and a year and a half of writing work. We hope that you'll enjoy it and that you'll read it again and again as you develop as a racer. This is also a great book for parents following along the career of a budding junior age racer, or for anyone who wants to understand the sport of bike racing."   ~Kendra, René, and Scott

"Bike Racing 101 is the perfect book for anyone who’s serious about getting into racing. René and Kendra combine their coaching and racing experience and expertise to cover every aspect of this highly competitive sport, making this the one book you’ll use again and again."

George Hincapie
Discovery Channel team member & 7-time Tour de France teammate to Lance Armstrong

"Bike Racing 101 is a thoroughly enjoyable book. It sets out to encourage the beginner in the world of cycle racing and it not only achieves this goal, but also has enough depth and weight to be of interest to the more experienced rider too. The book deserves to be successful because the authors offer excellent coaching and training experience and expertise while maintaining a clear, concise and realistic approach."
