You can't look like a vogue model and be an athlete. You have to have muscle to make the bike go, there's no way to not build muscle while continuing to work out (other than having an eating disorder). Embrace it and show of your shapely calves.

My quads have blown up since I started riding and I'm damn proud of it. The idea that women shouldn't be strong and powerful drives me buggy-because if you think about it it's a backwards notion meant to keep women out of "male" spheres.
