In this episode we discuss: How to gain free speed by your choice of tires How important is your bike's weight? Does weight matter in your choice of racing flat? Is a treadmill faster or slower than road running, and why?   Jim's book covers all these topics and more.  It's definitely worth a read. It's published by Velo Press.
