    You asked us what we think of your legs in the pictures, so...

    To tell you the truth, your legs look more like steroid/synthol weight lifter legs than cyclist legs to me. I'm not saying you actually take steroids, but your legs look unnatural and kind of deformed to me. Sorry.

    Ditto. That is exactly what I was thinking, too.

    I think they look like power-lifter legs, not cyclist legs.

    Yes, I see them all of the time at my gym, cyclist legs look quite different - at least all that I've seen so far.

    I know they look like bodybuilder legs since I also do fitness competition. I also wanted to hear about the changes in yours from cycling and maybe lifting weights. I feel a weird and agressive atmosphere toward new comers here...

    If you are new, it would be more meaningful for us, if you introduced yourself, the type of cycling, your bikes, etc.

    Celine - yes, those are bodybuilder legs, and no, there's nothing wrong with that. But this is not a bodybuilding or fitness forum, and the tone here is quite different. We are not aggressive to newcomers, just wary. Discussing ones body in detail on the internet demands a bit of trust and there are many weirdos out there. If you introduce yourself, or ask questions about cycling, you will be met with a lot more friendly responses.
