Do you ever burst out with,"Nice legs!" And then think,"wow, I shouldn't have said that out loud". But, then again, that's what alot of this riding is all about, noticing how others are reacting to exercise and pain. I've noticed both sex's legs. One older woman thought I was hitting on her. One insecure "hammer" was afraid I was gay and after him. But I am just in awe of well taken care of, sculputured legs. Cycling legs are a result of hard work and genetics. Some people deserve the credit others hold back. Cyclist should be in praise of the legs.
I have one and a half pair. I got into cycling because I couldn't run to keep up my shape. A pair of pedals and a crank equalize the difference. Lungs and great aerobics make my cycling equal to my riding partners. If you have a pair great, if you don't, keep plugging away and enjoy.
Whoa! Too serious? Sorry, I was having a "moment" (and I had to work on the holiday).
