Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Power climbs, where you maintain speed and thus overall power is an important factor, suit the bigger guys more than the little guys.

Prime example:

And then you have freaks like Stijn De Volder, who can do everything well...

Like someone above said, it's fun to finally have found a sport that I'm naturally inclined towards. Anything that requires a ton of strength for short periods of time? Not my thing....at all. Lower resistance, high rep - now you're talking.

All you fat guys get made fun of, so do the lanky dudes. Everyone gets made fun of. Hell, even my doctor makes jokes about my (low) weight...as does my mom. 6'1" 140lbs

What are lighter guys most suited for? Anything ranging from long- to ultra-distance.

I'm 6' and 200 pounds. I'm just a big guy, I'm not fat. I do heavy work and I'm solid. I couldn't be some of your alls weight if I never ate for a month. By the way Doc, I did play football and now I'm paying for it with bad knees for the past 25 years. I just got home for work, and my right knee is the size of RyanF's guads. You didnt miss anything not play football, trust me.

5'4" at 155... I'm feeling like a bit of a piggy. If anyone wants to put on the pounds, get a stressful cubicle gig and gain 30 of them within ten months.

It's time to stop the cubicle grazing because the old super rapid metabolism is slowing down.

I'm sorry Ryan, but I am 6'1 and 165lb and I am pretty scrawny. Maybe you've got that impression of bulk because you're just bloated from all the hot air; you are in actuality a waif.

m4bandit, I'm in the same boat. Though I just lost 5 lbs to get to 155.
