You think that's bad....try going to Europe. I went to England a few years and nearly scalded myself in a shower because it was so tiny. My fat but hit cheap pull out lever and put it on steaming super hot and I couldn't get door open easily because it was accordion style and my fat but was in the way (especially hard to do in panic mode).

I have the biggest bike frame.
I barely could squat in a bathroom in Austria. My cheeks hugged the walls.

Similar stuff said about TdF riders. The only time the small, skinny guys win is in the hills.

I knew several people that actually knew this guy. I slept in a bed that was setup special at a place he used to stay at. I am 6'4" and the bed nad my feet hanging off of it. That guy must have been miserable.

Naw. Feet hanging off the bed isn't that bad. I prefer that over a baseboard restricting the stretch.
