mike88 Posted April 7, 2015 Share I always thought why do cyclists shave their legs. Is it for a few grams weight reduction or safety reasons when falling.We'll, on Sunday morning i had a little accident which sent me otb and left me with a metal plate in my arm. Before the opp the nurses cleaned my lacerations on the kness and complaind they cant see whats hair and whats gravel. Also the wound dressing did not stay on because of the hair. So would it be a good time for me to start shaving/waxing my legs for future incidents?? HappyMartin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlockG4 Posted April 7, 2015 Share I have only heard one good reason for a man shaving his legs, and that's when doing a multi stage race it helps with massages, so other than that I dont think I will ever do it! _David_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Shore Posted April 7, 2015 Share Actually shaving causes minor trauma to the skin and will in fact slow the healing time after injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odinson Posted April 7, 2015 Share If you're a hairy guy, where do you stop shaving? That's what I'd like to know. Salty, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, nonky and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatt Posted April 7, 2015 Share Shaving also stops around 2kgs of mud collecting on your legs when you're riding an extremely muddy stage race... My bike wife doesn't laugh at me anymore!! Salty and Rusty250 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blondeonabike Posted April 7, 2015 Share You guys are talking a load of nonsense. Ticks and massages??? Men are egotistical beings...so simply....after training your butt off, you finally have a pair of ripped legs...of COURSE you shave to show them off. I mean really....lets just call a spade a spade. nonky, CogitoErgoSum, Escapee.. and 23 others 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
