The classic cycling engineering science texts are Archibald Sharp's Bicycles and Tricycles, and Whitt and Wilson's Bicycling Science (both published by MIT press, though as a century-old text the Sharp may have other reprint editions). Both interesting in their own right, will give you pointers for further areas of study, and more likely to sustain interest than a standard engineering statics/mechanics textbook.
