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.
