hmm depends on whether you're male or female...

Does anyone else who is tall feel weird in cycling shorts?
Im tall and skinny and my legs look a mile long.

Same (I'm 6'5"😉, but it's not weird for me unless I'm wearing especially short cycling shorts.

ride harder.... get bigger thighs....

and all will come into focus.😄

It makes my third leg look a mile long because it is a mile long. Well, used to be. Used to get caught up in my chainrings if I didn't tuck it in my sock.

I remember one time I was riding down the road and I saw a rodeo cowboy trying to rope some doggies and I showed him what was up right there from the saddle of my trusty Schwinn Varsity. Of course, that was in my younger days, before the chainsaw accident. Now it's a bit shorter but it gets the job done. It's only as long as my arm, not my leg anymore. Can't feel much since that day I was cutting down a sturdy old oak tree out in front of my double wide, but that's a question for a different forum.
