Kudos to this guy for still klapping it on a bike when so many others would have just sat at home on the couch in their pools of pity

Thats actually quite inspiring.

Anything can become Psychologically addictive and have a negative effect on ones heath, cycling included. Moderation is everything.

 

High performance sport is not always healthy, ask any high performance athlete, it takes a whole new skill set to train that hard and still keep injury free and healthy.

 

This guy is obviously doing it wrong, looks like he also might be suffering from sports enduced anorexia, many in the peleton suffer from the same thing. (i have not read the attached article yet)

 

Skinny is not always form, skinny is unnatural and if cyclist suffers from sports enduced anorexia, they might also be suffering from zero testosterone. The list is endless. And this is the part of cycling that does not get a lot of attention, yet affects a lot of the top cyclists. Hectic.

Funny how many people comment on something when they haven't even opened the link.

 

EDIT: But kudos to this man. His perseverance is quite amazing.

That looks siff

Kudo's to the guy. Yet I do not think he should be compared with Mr Froome Dawg, apples and oranges really. And I stand by my original post, to get so very thin is not healthy, he is supported by various universaties and doctors to manage his syndrome. Good on him. Chris the same thing with his pro-team, but not an inspiration on skinny and cycling really, a lot of youngesters could be "inspired" to get anorexia.

.

@helpmytrap, I stated in OP that I did not read the article ... YET, and it does hit a nerve because so many people think that skinny/thinness is healthy, not true. It was a gut reaction to this original post, so what. Sometimes people react.

I agree with you that fit/skinny != healthy. All I was pointing out was that it is best to read before voicing one's assumptions as I too first thought that this man was way too skinny and wondered about his long term health.

All good!
