You think that's bad....try going to Europe. I went to England a few years and nearly scalded myself in a shower because it was so tiny. My fat but hit cheap pull out lever and put it on steaming super hot and I couldn't get door open easily because it was accordion style and my fat but was in the way (especially hard to do in panic mode).

that's not just you - showers are newfangled in the UK (what the hey it's 2007 fercripssakes?!?!?!?) and they're ALL small, awkward and with low pressure hot water. The European ones I've used and even the Mexican, Zimbabwean and South African ones were all better.

I have the biggest bike frame.

I barely could squat in a bathroom in Austria. My cheeks hugged the walls.

Nice link, thanks.

Similar stuff said about TdF riders. The only time the small, skinny guys win is in the hills.

I knew several people that actually knew this guy. I slept in a bed that was setup special at a place he used to stay at. I am 6'4" and the bed nad my feet hanging off of it. That guy must have been miserable.

Naw. Feet hanging off the bed isn't that bad. I prefer that over a baseboard restricting the stretch.
