The September issue of Bicycling arrived yesterday, and it contains a
lengthy article titled "Hey, Big Fella" about large riders. One sidebar
[bottom of page 51] has the above Subject title, and describes the Body
Mass Index [BMI] calculation [see an online BMI calculator at the URL
below].
The magazine editor, Stephen Madden, has a brief column [page 16] titled
"He Ain't Heavy (He's Our Editor)" about the irony of his weight at 185
pounds, which is what I weighed as a skinny teenager riding a Sears
three-speed over forty years ago.

"Bicycling is a healthy and manly pursuit with much
to recommend it, and, unlike other foolish crazes,
it has not died out." -- The Daily Telegraph (1877)
