Someone at work told my friend that I look like a "bike racer". I'm pretty confused as to what that could mean?

It suddenly made my feel like I don't have a feminine enough body. I mean it's true. My mother bitterly calls me a man every time I dress up for work because I'm pretty flat front and back and I'm thin and lean and tall. I just don't look feminine in work suits. And that makes me sad. I could wear dresses to work too but that looks too extra.... Too eye catching. Probably not professional. But I wasn't expecting this from a coworker.

theres a girl at my work who would fit that description. lean and skinny is all. and she has a short hairstyle. at first i thought she looked kind of masculine but after working next to her for a day and getting a dose of her sweet smile and demeanor i changed my mind. i think she is very pretty and alluring now. dont let one person's insensitive comment get you down. looks arent everything either. if you want to feel more feminine without resorting to dresses maybe wear a nice bracelet or jewelry or somehting if you can? b ti doubt you need it. besides, bike racers are fit and healthy. maybe they meant it as a compliment.
