    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.

    Celine - you can understand what our concern was. Most of our newcomers introduce themselves and their bikes (if they are riding yet), and some have questions related to cycling - they don't normally post pictures of body parts and ask to see other photos. In the many years I've been on the internet this is one of the most welcoming forums I have ever been on, but of course one does have to be cautious on the internet.

    Celinefitness.. don't give up on us. I'm not good with words and what I say on the internet comes out weird sometimes and misrepresents myself, but most of what I know about cycling I have learned from here. I see kids on facebook that post things that worry me much more than your legs Anyway, if I had legs like yours I could climb hills and do the mountains where some of my relatives live, instead of wishing for lower gears and/or better legs.
