To get those #s you would need to have an extreme diet/exercise regime. 185 at 5’11 is either a lot of extra fat or muscle. If you are Sub 10% you definitely have a super defined 8 pack and some of that weird muscle striation body builders get. Would be very surprised if you achieved that by just biking to work.

I have large legs (around) from all the skating growing up. Don't have a defined 8 pack, never really had a strong core, it's mostly legs.
To Quote Mens Health:
"The 7% guy is definitely following a very strict regimen,” he explains. He’s probably eliminating certain macronutrients, like being Paleo with no carbs, and is definitely paying very close attention to what he eats.
Meanwhile the 10 to 12% guy is in constant flux—some weeks he’s at 9 percent, others he’s at 12%. “He might have a cheat meal—splurging on wings instead of steamed asparagus when out with the guys—but not necessarily a cheat day,” McCall says.
Someone at 15% is having a cheat day. “He’s paying attention and making certain decisions—no fried foods, burger without the bun, no accidental break room pastries. But he’s not uber health conscious,” he adds."
