What a great discussion. I, too, have that "elephant knee/inner thigh" look when I stand. I have great quads but this awful stuff over them. I don't dare look at the backside! I have, too, been biking and have fluatuations with lots of miles and then some less. I also run. All to make my legs look better. They are mildly better, but I am short and do have "big legs" (my calfs are HUGE!). But I do think "age" has something to do w/ the elasticity of my skin but ultimately it is my body fat. And to help with that I need to really change my riding from endurance riding to really training!!!! But I do admit it is one of the most frustrating things. I can "hide" my belly fat, but I live in Florida and would give anything to have nice legs! So I echo your feelings! Foam roller, huh??? I have one of those....I'll give it a try!
Thanks!
