I see you and I have the same "hobby" 
... broke the collarbone and had 2 subsequent reconstructions, broke the wrist, had to have reconstruction, wrecked my knee, yes reconstruction. Add a serious head injury and then =sigh= cancer surgery... I've more off the bike in the last 6 years than on. It sucks!

I'm starting to slip into a bit of a depression about that..........I don't even think about the inevitable knee replacement.

Granted, the poll is kind of silly, but it was not meant to be scientific. It is no more serious then people posting pictures of themselves shirtless. For the record, the poll does not exactly fit me either. My wife is Athena, and will never be anything less. She is 5'7" and has wide shoulders. The least she has ever weighed since we have been married is 165lbs and looked stunning. Even though tend to like the skinny ones, I always seem to end up with the plump one.
If I were your wife - I would rant over this. First you say she is stunning....and big cause she is wide shouldered and 5 7. Then you say she is plump . Harrumph!!
Why not just say that the Athena weight limit is ridiculous cause at 150-165 your wife is drop dead gorgeous?? Better than Plump! If it's true...just sayin.

I just want to reply cause I finally have a boyfriend..:cool:does that count as Significant Other? And I never weighed him... but I gues he is over 200. I definitely like to have someone who weighs more than I do!! Not really attracted to the real skinny men.
Me? I am an Athena ...180 5'7' the small side of size 14 (some 12s may fit on a good day....welll ok not a lot but they will!) (not big boned) and sexy as hell....but could lose 30 more pounds...(have lost over 40 this past year) That said - it is likely I may stay above 150...my goal is likely a size 8/10 and about 150.. But maybe I will be 151 so I can still be with my peeps.

me 6'0" 225 lbs
her 5'0" 115 lbs
The height is more noticable than the weight...I like them athletic, no chest, great rear with muscular legs (not twigs) mine rides to cross train for all the half marathons she runs, so she stays pretty fit, but she is not a strong cyclist. We both have mtb and roadies.
