All this talk about thighs brought me to thinkings about the "SCB" - spectacular cyclists' bum. I've been riding just on 18 months now and my bum is fantastic - despite the fact that it belongs to an overweight body (108kg - 238pounds).

My bum defies the rest of my body and gravity through cycling. I love a nice, round, high bum and now I have one! I'm still working on the rest, but for now my bum keeps me happy.

I saw a woman at the pool last week in the change rooms and she had no bum at all. I wanted to lend her my spare bike, but how do you do that. "Hi, your bum makes me sad - maybe you should go for a ride".
