Exploratorium: The Science of Sports Cycling

Curated by ACT

A detailed look at the aerodynamic principles associated with cycling. Good science and even better web page design. Includes an online calculator that allows the user to calculate the aerodynamic drag and propulsive power of a bicyclist when the incline angle, weight, and wind and bike velocity are known.
