How big are your thighs?

Prompted by the revelation that a certain somebody's measure 27" I had a go at measuring mine. I always thought they were quite impressive, but at 22.5" it probably explains why I'm not a triple Olympic champion & why the wife only has eyes for Hoycules

23" once I got over the shock of the cold metal tape measure.I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0

I'm struggling to get a measurement with this metre stick...I might have to peel of the skin around the thigh so i can lay it out flat to get the measurement.0

Fool!!
Just lie down & roll over the stick0 -
Mind don't have as much fat :P0

Thought mine were quite chunky too but only 23" it turns out. looks like no chance of medals for me either

a distinctly average 24"0

26-ish but that's more or less par for an old fat match sprinter.....
Bit of a struggle to get jeans, I think we need a list of thigh to waist dimensions or somesuch..... if you have big legs and a big middle, Marks and the like will sell jeans that fit, it's if you have fat legs and a moderate middle that you really have problems, like never being able to buy assos shorts etc!
I have bought off-the-peg jeans in the US and in South Africa, though, their average bloke is obviously a different shape to here!
S.If you're as fat as me, all bikes are bendy.0 -

As the tailors from The Fast Show once advised re. tape measures; "Don't forget to warm the end, sir; we don't want to go in cold"

20", no wonder my best sprint is pathetic. They work fine on hills though, the steeper the better.0
-
26" - but that's more from being an ex prop forward than anything I have ever done on a bike.0

Just took out a tape measue and I'm 26.75 inches - so yeah! Will be hitting the Gym soon so hopefully I'll be able to outdo an Olympic champion in the thigh fatness stakes at least! Oh yeah, girls.... just in case your wondering 8" let all your saddles be comfy and all your rides less bumpy....0

And with a user ID like that, I'm lost for words.

26" but that's mostly down to football and athletic sprinting from my youth.
Hark at Dirk Diggler!!
Did make me laugh though Pork Sword.0 -

David, whenever I read your posts you seem to quote a moment in comedy. It's very impressive!
I think you should try applying to replace Dennis Norden or Barry Cryer!!0 -
