I wonder what other type of creature has freakishly large thighs?

propasaurus: "German cyclist shows off his freakishly large thighs and tiny, tiny penis in bizarre Twitter picture."

IT WAS COLD! THERE WAS SHRINKAGE!

I was watching weightlifting last night... Those people have freakish quads

CSB:back in the day I was an amateur bike racer. My quads were so big I had to by blue jeans 1 or 2 sizes too large just to fit my legs.

I learned to do that after I hulked out a pair of jeans and tore the seams open just from muscle pressure. So there I was, walking down a school hallway with my pants flapping in the wind. That was a big hit.

I road race and although I'm skinny, I can't fit into regular jeans. I have to get the loose fitting ones. Kind of awkward.

Lifelong mountain biker. Can't wear any sort of regular jeans. They always have to be relaxed leg.

CSB time: My sister-in-law tried to get her boyfriend to go biking with me. He said, "Have you seen his calves? He'd crush me!"

One of my ex-girlfriends bought me tighter fitting jeans one year because she was tired of me wearing really loose fitting ones and thought it would show off my legs/butt better. I guess they do, but I can't get my hands in the pockets and never wear them.

/mountain biker, csb

I grew up going backpacking from age 10 and started biking (mt. and road) semi-seriously around age 18. I'm 44 now and I pretty much wear shorts year round because I can't find a pair of jeans to fit. If the waist is the right size there isn't any way they are going up my legs and if they fit around the legs they are going to fall down unless I cinch them up so tight the extra fabric makes them too uncomfortable to wear.

I had this problem until I found good tailors. Now I buy jeans that fit my legs and get them taken in everywhere else.

I find it very hard to believe they aren't taking steroids.

Those are a subset of track cyclists. They think pushing big gears is the way to go. Normal track cyclists depend more on cadence. fyi: a road racer may weigh 160 lbs, a track hulkster may weigh 230. Road racing is won on the climbs, where weight kills. Track cyclists ride a more-or-less flat surface and power is everything. Road racers may race 150 miles. Track cyclists are worthless after a few miles.

Ugh, I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Holy crap those are hooge guads.

Well, Forstermann is a sprinter, who are ridiculously dependent on generating massive amounts of power for very short periods of time, even by the standards of track cyclists. The pursuiters tend to make fine road cyclists, once they've shed the extra muscle mass. (See Wiggins, Bradley).

Those almost look like a disease or deformity.
