    So much for thighs, what about your bum?

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    All this talk about thighs brought me to thinkings about the "SCB" - spectacular cyclists' bum. I've been riding just on 18 months now and my bum is fantastic - despite the fact that it belongs to an overweight body (108kg - 238pounds).

    My bum defies the rest of my body and gravity through cycling. I love a nice, round, high bum and now I have one! I'm still working on the rest, but for now my bum keeps me happy.

    I saw a woman at the pool last week in the change rooms and she had no bum at all. I wanted to lend her my spare bike, but how do you do that. "Hi, your bum makes me sad - maybe you should go for a ride".

    Skaters have a very nice bum. On par with cyclists I'd say.

    Fortunately, I played ladies hockey in my youth and now I ride. My bum makes J-Lo look like chopped liver.

    Unfortuantely, there is that big scar. But hey, no bum can be perfect.

    I actually won a bum award once. But that's a story for another time.

    Well, since you asked so nicely.

    In my first year of college I would occasionally hang out with my older sister at the bar. She was a wild one. She was also very well endowed and would often enter wet T-shirt contests and usually win. So we're out at the bar one night, I'm a little drunk, (thanks to her) and she signs me up for a "Hot Buns" contest. As I was not coherent, I thought what the hey. The prize was a full Levis wardrobe and I loved my 501s so up to the stage I go. I won.

    Little did I know that this was only a municiple level contest and that I would be invited to the regional contest based on my bedonkadonk. Once sober the next day, I protested that I wouldn't go to the regionals. My sister told me to quit being a priss and swore she'd make sure I had enough to drink.

    So we went to the regionals. I got drunk and I won that too. So I have the title of Ms. Hot Buns Central Alberta 1990. And I have hockey to thank for it.

    I won more Levis, a pioneer stereo and a music library. Very cool. The hard part was making the Pioneer stereo work in my tin can Pontiac Acadian. They had to build speaker boxes for it!! That was one kick *** stereo in one pathetic car.

    That was a great story, Wahine! Here's to getting drunk every now and then

    I have a spectacular bum too, come to think of it. It makes up for my total lack of waist and boobs, and my Olympian shoulders.

    Cool story, Wahine/Yoda. As one who is absolutely lacking in "junk in her trunk" I submit to your arse-worthiness!!!

    Better behinds & thighs - there's hope yet!

    All this talk of better bum and thighs has given me hope!

    I have only ridden about 700 km in 10 months, but I have noticed that my legs have definitely become stronger as I now ride quite comfortably using gears I couldn't manage before. Something must happened to the muscles (not that they have visibly grown). Would like to know if an inner upper thigh area change can be expected in the future if I pedal longer and harder! I have given up on ever having a decent bum, I'm battling gravity and genetics there I think.
