I am the only black roadie I know.
Someone asked me the other day if I get tan lines.... Ignorance
I have never felt fat my entire life and did all sorts of sports. Now I feel like I am too large for this sport. It is not like I can lose the weight. I am a large person, even at a low fat percentage I am still heavy. I could probably look like a corpse and still fall into the clyde category (90-ish kg). Played American Football and Basketball for most of my life...
It bothers me that my physique was always useful in other sports, but feels out of place on a roadbike.\
