The after is rather inspiring - I didn't imagine she'd still be able to ride at all.

As a general rule, absolutely but what I've seen in this thread is hardly political... just playful banter.

What in particular are you reacting to?

The smile says it all.

re: Christie on the Herse. I wonder if she had any idea what a special bike she was riding?

I get the feeling that she has the tenacity of a gila monster...she's not letting anything slow her down.

Whoa!

Chris Hoy has bigger legs than Arnold!:eek:

When I was a kid, I thought Arnold had about the biggest legs the world had ever seen!:(

Arnold was probably out of Olympia training by time of that picture and not on a cycle (punfully intended).

I was racing in 1980. Eric Heiden had just won all those medals and he starts showing up at all the bike races in the midwest. Girls were screaming when they saw him. It was really something. After one race I saw him putting his bike in the trunk of his car - a beater 70ish Buick sedan.

During the games they told the story of Eric's personal life that included his cycling in the offseason. Quite a set of quads that young man had.

My quads are big, too, but I'm not fast. I'm also not a celebrity.

Jeezus. Them're some dinosaur legs.

Here's his modern day equivalent, the incredible Shani Davis riding the front rack of Koen Verweij's bike at the last Winter olympics.

That is a beefy front rack.
