    I started riding last August. But several things happened that kept me from riding much during the winter. I started again in March. Riding almost daily. In August, I instantly saw a difference in my butt. I was developing one! I have never been blessed in this area. So, you can imagine my thrill to look in the mirror and actually see the curves! In March, as I rode longer and more often, my butt only improved! My pants are getting tighter, but it is because I am developing a nice firm, uplifted behind!

    When I started riding, I lost about 25 libs in the first few weeks. Funny thing, as I rode, I started to gain weight! I learned to stay off the scales. Muscle weighs more that fat. I now go by how I feel and how my clothes fit. My body continues to redevelop. It is so totally awesome

    Since I haven't been cycling since my accident in April (other than short rides on the trainer), my butt has definitely gotten smaller. I have lost only one lb., but I am sure I've lost muscle there and elsewhere. My pants definitely fit looser back there, and to be honest, I miss my curvier butt! I'm actually looking forward to getting it back - to me it is a sign of health and strength, since it's muscles making it bigger, not additional fat!

    But everyone develops their muscles differently when cycling. I have seen many women in our bike club who ride a LOT and don't have much in the way of a butt. Some of us are just more prone to develop them, I think. I notice mine feels firmest and sorest after a long ride with lots of hills. I am sure I use the gluteals a lot when I climb.

    LOL. I love this thread! Somehow I can't picture a men's board talking about this (chuckling). I find my bum is getting more toned while losing fat so overall I'm pleased and I'm pear shaped.

    Now, if I could get rid off all the bruised from my saddle hitting me I'd be proud to be naked!!

    LOL! I love this thread too! Where else can you talk about your butt ! LOL!! Emily., I am interested in reading about your injury. Thank God, I have not had an accident yet. I know that is a YET....so I pray I am careful and the fools racing past me or walking in front of me, don't cause me to fall.
