BMI is a very useful indicator that is applicable to the vast majority of the general public. With notable exceptions, cyclists and runners are typically in the normal BMI range.

The only way the OP can definitively answer his "am I fat?" question is by actually measuring his body fat percentage-- a decidedly more involved procedure than a simple height/weight/gender calculation.
