I use Veet or Nair,. Doesn't last as long as waxing but I get really bad ingrowing hairs.
Go as far as my ars* and top of my thighs, that's where the hair stops anyway.
Garden gets a trim every couple of weeks.

Shaved legs shows your allegiance to the sport I'm told.
My missus wasn't keen at first but after they tan in summer she likes the muscle definition it shows off.
The question is where do you stop?
See some porn guys with no hair whatsoever how the fark do you do that? Lot of shaving or wax?

So are you saying there are times when you're not looking?

Will be again next summer providing my legs are lean and toned by then and have seen some sun. Lycra and hair don't mix. You have to shave your thighs too or you will have the mick taken
I've always used a razor (or several for the first shave of the season!) but my top tip is never do it the day before an early season race as sports balm and shaving nicks don't go too well together!!

Not very hairy anyway (my legs) so waxing would be pointless.

I'm on the verge of doing it, the only thing slightly putting me off is the abuse I will receive from mates etc etc.
If you don't, what are your thoughts on the topic?
If you do, what is best to use? (I can't imagine it being much of a chore, but the amount of girls I come across with stubbly legs makes me believe it must be...) | You don't need to do it in winter. Who's going to see them?

razor. all year round. (why go hairy in winter?)
I thoroughly recommend the 'beard like a rhododendron, silky smooth legs' look.

Do they?? I've rowed with hundreds of blokes at three different clubs and don't think I ever met one who shaved their legs; a lot of the ladies didn't seem to bother half the time either!* I don't bother myself, due to sheer laziness and the fact that I look great anyway.
*[pc mode] not that there's anything wrong with that [/pc mode]

when I was a rower I knew quite a lot of rowers who shaved their legs.
They were all cyclists too, mind.

When I was a rower I used to make a habit of befriending the ones who shaved their legs.
They were all ladies, mind

I have waxed in the past - more recently haven't bothered. The biggest problem was that I'm naturally very hairy. This menas I do look damn silly wearing lycra shorts - but even more so when my "fur shorts" were visible. I made the mistake of waxing to just above cycling shorts level, with the reuslt that when I wore regular shorts to a barbeque and they rode up as I sat down I had a strip of fur showing. Not a good look.
