The author draws on the experiences of building a cargo bike for goalie equipment in his quest for the ultimate workout bicycle. Just as Hughes' first book, Building a Better Goalie (bike) detailed the design and construction of his unique bike for hockey players, The Swim Cycle traces the trials of building the perfect bicycle for tri-sport lovers and weekend warriors alike. There are plenty of pictures and drawings in case the reader has a hankering and the curiosity to build his/her own swim cycle.
