stretch marks (and other scars) tend to widen and flatten out as you get older. Moles get bigger too. Your skin becomes less elastic.
Cycling has nothing to do with it.
I'm sure you have not tripped the "excessive cycling" alarm yet.

Hey Ladies
I am cycling regularly for 4 years. Actually mountain bike...I try to cycle with lighter gear whenever it gets harder uphill but anyway a lot of times i feel i am burning out myself to come to top. Last months i recognized that my stretch marks that i got when i was 16-17 are getting wider and wider just behind my knees. I am not getting weight or losing..I am not using any drugs...I use creams regularly and i drink a lot of water . I eat healthy...I say to my husband that i feel my saddle is too high but he says it is even a cm too low. He also thinks i am making this up about stretch marks. But the directions where they get wider seems like cycling has someting to do with it...Has anybody any idea..?
Ooo..and sorry for my terrible english...

You know, it could just be that the rider is shrinking and the marks are staying the same...
