Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I know, too lazy to change them but enough energy to cycle 2 hours on a trainer. Go figure.

Indeed, took me 8 years to find it. Being left handed as well as left legged can be a problem

Don't worry kid that is normal after decades of riding. I call it skinny old man legs or braided steel cable legs. Another decade or 2 will make it worse.

Yup, as we age the peripheral fat shifts to the center. Still slower than molasses.
