Does This Bike Make My Butt Look Big?
In the last month I've gained about 10 pounds. Yet my body fat percentage has stayed almost the same, at least according to my Tanita scale. I've certainly increased my consumption of pie and cookies in that period, so it's not suprising that my weight has gone up, but for my body fat to remain the same is weird.
Then it occurred to me that besides eating more sweets, the other thing in the last month is that I've been riding my fixed gear almost exclusively. I think it's made my glutes and hams all huge. I'm not complaining, I'm just afraid I'm going to have to go get all my pants altered.
Anybody else notice a similar plumping when they started riding fixed?
