Now come on, as any fule kno women go weak at the knees at the sight of a pair of shaved male legs, and pretty soon after going hair-free you'll be doing so much horizontal jogging that you may as well sell your bike - you won't have time to ride it. At least that's the impression I get from various cycling forums; I still think that yes, you do look a bit silly anyway Wink

A friend of mine, an ex international racing cyclist and coach, also did sports massage. She says that massaging shaved legs is definitely a lot easier and more effective. She hated doing hairy runners legs.

I think another advantage is that it makes sticking plaster removal a lot less traumatic. I shaved a few times when I was half-heartedly racing but I certainly don't bother now. Heck, I don't even shave my chin Laughing

Last time this subject was kicking around I did a big post about it.....here's the shortened version:

Men (namely cyclists) have been shaving their legs longer than women! Right back at the beginning of Tour de France cyclists were shaving their legs, it wasn't until around the 50's that women started shaving their underarms due to an ad campaign that had women with shaved underarms..... women shaving their legs didn't follow for a few years after that!

You see impossible, I see the finish line.
