Please Liz, put the helmet on your head.  We want you to be safe.

Liz Hatch is a pro cyclist who arrived late to the game (she didn't start until age 24) but has gained recognition for her toughness and aggressive style.  And also for her hot, hot hotness.  Thankfully, leading world-affairs magazine Maxim took a break from covering the Middle Eastern crisis to produce a splendid gallery of her in various degrees of semi-undress.  They also found this tidbit from her interview with The Sporting Life:

"I thrive off of the pain. When it hurts, I keep telling myself that it's just another form of pleasure. Once you tell yourself that it hurts too much to continue you may as well… get a real job."

Well, sure.  But tell us about cycling
