Check out George Hincapie's leg!
That guy's body must have been through a lot after so many years of cycling.

It appears as though 15 years of riding in the Tour de France has caused the leg of American rider George Hincapie to develop a mind/brain of its own.
All kidding aside, the reason Hincapie’s veins are popping out of his legs as if they are trying to escape the pain of enduring another long, tiring ride across France is the result of a case of varicose veins, which causes veins to become swollen, twisted and enlarged when filled with an abnormal collection of blood. While the valves in normal veins keep blood moving towards the heart, the valves in varicose veins struggle to function properly, causing blood to accumulate in the veins, resulting in their enlargement.
While varicose veins may sometimes be painful and cause fatigue, oftentimes the effects are strictly cosmetic. Seeing as how he is still going strong at the age of 38, I’m going to assume the latter to be true in the case of Hincapie’s varicose veins.
Hincapie is the man!

George Hincapie is the man. Always will be. Always has been. He is more manly than Chuck Norris. He eats glass and shits lightning bolts. He eats beef and drinks milk. He supports freedom of opinions. He is the MAN. He won the TDF 32 times if it wasn't for lots of other people. He is the man of all mans. He is more manly than Dick Mann (whoever that is). He is a top level athlete and he has NEVER taken any kind of drug other than children's chewable Flintstones vitamins.
p.s., PEDs work really, really, really well.....but they have some pretty bad side-effects.
