Why are cyclists so fat?
Pros sure are in great condition. It's their job to be in top condition.
But for amateurs, I still don't understand why they would be so fat if they are cycling so much. On Youtube I'm watching Cat races and half the people in the races are fat! What's going on? Is Cycling the sport of fatties? The other half, congrats to them, look like badass cyclists like the pros, fit.
Fat thighs, fat calves, fat asses and clearly can see their core is flabby. I thought maybe I could use cycling to get back in shape, but watching these vids, me thinks I should just put my running shoes back on and head to the gym and just use my bike for commuting. If training for races keeps these guys fat... not going to do much for my recreational fitness intent. When I raced running, I didn't see any runner as fat or as flabby as these cyclists.
