If there was any doubt the Tour de France was tough on the legs, 27-year-old professional bike rider Pawel Poljanski is out to remind us just how enduring it is.

After the sixteenth leg of the Tour de France, Poljanski took a picture of his legs and posted the image to Instagram. That might not sound like the craziest thing to do... until one sees the image.
