Nickzta Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Funny Shaving Story A few years back, somebody who worked with me decided to do the 94,7. He was a new cyclist and didn't really train. So he thought that since he was in for a 4hour stint (a very, very poor estimate on his side) He would wear a vest and tan his arms at the same time. The night before he shaved his legs and noticed in the mirror that he looked like a chop with his smooth legs and hairy arms. So he shaved his arms too. On the day of the race he skipped the sunblock. His start was late, in the heat of the day and he took 5,5 hours to finish. Naturally he suffered a serious sunburn on his arms. This was bearable for 2 days, his skin went red, swelled, blistered and scabbed. Then, on the third day, his hair started to grow through. This caused such severe agony and pain and it pushed through the scabs, that he had to be hospitalised and put onto pain killers... True story
Ceres Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Doing the DC my friend and I get to the self catering where most of the guys are staying. I shave my legs now and again but I thought I'm doing the DC with a lot of roadies so I better shave my legs. Tell my friend he better do the same but he decides against it. Well we get to the house and all the guys take one look at my friend and say no ways are the riding with the Yeti (have you seen gorillas in the mist well that what his legs look like). Problem is nobody has a razor then I remember I have one of those disposable bic razors in my bakkie and somebody finds a pair of sissors. Well off he goes to the bathroom we braai..... we eat.... still he's in the bathroom I eventualy go have a look, looked like Freddie Kruger got hold of him theres blood everywhere. He said the first leg was not too bad but when he got to the second that bic could have been a butter knife. It was so bad that he thought of just leaving the one leg hairy, I think the wind resistance would have been so bad he would of gone around in circles.
small h Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Maybe both your ladies have unfulfilled lesbian tendencies and the shaved legs allow them to get one step closer to fulfilling these desires? Funny people on the Hub these days...... This is from the wife's perspective: 1. It's a b!tch to apply sunscreen to the man's hairy legs - it just doesn't spread 2. It defines the muscles and makes the legs look yummy as the fuzz hides all of that 3. So much nicer feeling under the sheets other than thinking it's a spider crawling on your leg.......
small h Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I'm all in for that The more ladies the merrier. LOL Eidt: the mrs is going to see this.... Anyone have a spare bed for me? 'Dale, help a buddy out man! Oh, apparently it is because it shows the definition of my calves more when they are smooth. I like it. tsk tsk what am I going to do with you?

Sounds like he confused cycling for swimming, shaving his arms....
Coiser Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 It's cool and my wife says its sexy...and that all that counts
udxcob Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Not sure what my wife thinks (I have forgotten) but I do know she laughs at my tan though
Active Monkey Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 Guys think same rules apply for mtb?
flymango Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Shave not. Anybody that does less than 200km a week on a bicycle surely cannot qualify for shaving.
Rain Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 The Rules of the Cog Rule #33 Shave your guns. Legs are to be carefully shaved at all times. If, for some reason, your legs are to be left hairy, makesure you can dish out plenty of hurt to shaved riders, or be considered a hippie douche on your way to a Critical Mass. Whether you use a straight razor or a Bowie knife, use Baxter to keep them smooth. Exactly. Always follow The Rules.Besides, have you ever had physio or a massage with hairy legs? Pulling tape off hairy legs is no fun either...
Minion Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Sounds like he confused cycling for swimming, shaving his arms....I shave my arms. If you think about it carefully, every single one of the reasons given for shaving your legs applies just as well to shaving your arms. The real question should be: "Why don't you shave your arms, too?"

The real question should be: "Why don't you shave your arms, too?" Too much effort to keep arms hairless too. When I do have an off I generally don't get the arms trashed or roasted up as bad as the legs. My main reason for shaving is the massage aspect. Have never had my arms massaged. EVER. Would rather invest the time in another leg massage anyway. Whatever floats your boat edman....
forkie Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 your wife must not be familiar with cyclists such as Andre Greipel and Sir Chris Hoy http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk74/a-la-proust/Pro%20cycling%20edits/9520_131727383484_683993484_2457962.jpg Looks like Justin Bieber with muscles
