I read recently that flexibility isn't actually that beneficial for going fast on a bike, as long as you can get fairly aero, you don't need to be any more flexible.
In the running thread there was a link to an article about the sub two hour marathon that mentioned one of the ways Paula Radcliffe got faster was by getting less flexible and further reading suggests that applies even more to cycling.
(That's my excuse for not being able to touch my toes,.. It's so I'm faster, not because I'm fat)
