I dont really feel bad for thinking that photo is hilarious.. It looks silly to me when cyclists dont shave their legs.. but its expected from a few guys in every race.. but seriously.. what is she thinking?

So they do not ride as hard or train as often, and in addition, because they cycle, they think they can increase their food intake as if they are Lance Armstong 2-weeks into the tour. Or Greg Lemond now.
Also - this was a track cyclist versus a road cyclist. Most track cyclists (even males) have larger thighs and are not the weight weenies road cyclists are.

Hey, that's what I'm doing these days. WTF?
Anyway, she was very fast, and not thin. She always said she wanted to work on it, but it just never happened. I couldn't have cared less, as I was just a tactics/strategy coach for her, and she always ended up in 4:00 breaks with the same two women every week anyway.
EDIT: She also shaves her legs

There are a couple 'overweight' male & female cyclists who can out-motor me on the flats (and downhill...my 138 lbs just don't pick up that much inertia darnit)...a lot of watts coming outta their large(r) thighs. I get them back once we reach an incline.

I am not saying that there are not committed female cyclists. I got dropped going up Deer Creek Road last Saturday. But I think in general, there is either something physiological where women have a tougher time losing weight from cycling, or as I suspect, a majority of female cyclists chose cycling because it was easier than running or other sports, and they coast when possible.

Either hardcore or watch out the next time someone with a cast lines up next to you in a race.

This thread is terrible. Give the girl a break. Someone has already pointed out that she's a junior. You're offended that she hasn't shaved her legs. Come on.
And this whole thing about women cycling because it's easier than running and because you can coast. . . that's really the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. People pick their sport, or leisure activity if that's their preference, because they enjoy it. For you to rip on this girl based on her weight and her unshaven legs is completely unjusitifed and terribly childish.
Mods, please close this.
