The thing I've noticed is the overall lack of general fitness; yeah you can be great on the bike but off the bike - running, weight lifting, flexibility, swimming, body weight exercises, BMI, etc., etc., even just walking -- not so great.
This tip is to think big picture, sitting on your butt and spinning your legs is not a full workout and may leave you a bit weak, rigid, fat and fragile.
