People thought I was on steroids but never would I do something that would jack my health. I don't even drink beer and never smoked.
If I ever get tired of cycling, I'll return to pumping iron.
I lift iron maybe once a month but ride more hoping to someday be 160 at my height of 6'1.
Cycling has sure maintained the muscle you have.
