Varicose veins (which are what you see there) are not caused by cycling. He is just a cyclist who happens to have varicose veins, probably because of genetic predispositions. In fact cycling is considered a way to prevent them from appearing (although maybe doing the Tour de France would be a bit excessive)
plot e^(-3*((0.5+x)^2+y^2/2))+e^(-x^2-y^2/2)*cos(4*x), x=-3..3, y=-5..5
I don't think it's possible to see the intersection at z=0.001 as they've done in the picture though.

But I may be wrong.
