This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

To be fair, cyclists are disadvantaged by weight so if you look at all the top cyclists (with the exception of track cycling) they will look like twigs to make climbing easier.
By "top cyclists" I imagine you mean the guys who compete in very long road races. Not BMX riders, not mountain bikers, and definitely not this guy?
Most serious cyclists have big muscles, and they did for a long time on the Tour de France too, it's only in recent years that they've optimized so much for their particular niche that they've shed every possible gram of weight.
