I am A fat cyclist, that’s right, I said it. Of course, not to be confused with THE Fat Cyclist.
I’ve always thought that I am genetically sub-par; My VO2Max is equivalent to that of a couch-potato and I can’t build a six-pack even at my skinniest. However, I do believe I’ve finally found the answer that will propel chub-rocks to the front of the peleton. The answer is simple — dimples.
Frankly, I can’t believe it has taken this long for me to correlate dimples with us husky-folks. They’ve been putting dimples on everything from golf balls, to carbon wheels, to TT gloves and now to helmets. Meanwhile, we chunkies have had “dimples” all along which according to research “are said to capture a small layer of air, thus promoting better laminar air flow, making it faster aerodynamically.”
Hey Pearl Izumi, if you are reading this, can you please make me a skin suit with the butt-area cut out (think chaps). If nothing else, it will serve as a deterrent for anyone to chase me down and sit on my wheel.
