Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Skelator met Twiggy!

I just finished LA's book, My Journey Back to Life.

I enjoyed it!

Physique is only part of the story; phisiology, not nearly so visible...

...check those measurables, max VO2, lactate threshold, output at threshold, etc.

On the first shot... it's definitely photo-shopped.

The second picture is also photo-shopped and is really disturbing... but does make a powerful point.

Yes, it does:

Whoever posted these should be banned. I beat anorexia and super-human-leg disease and I find this discussion upsetting and offensive.
