Slave Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I'm not yet that serious type cylcist that I am debating whether or not to shave my legs, but I really want to know what the reason / logic is behind this passtime. I have heard several differing explanations, but they all seem illogical.
intern Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Cyclists shave their legs because it looks cool. (to other cyclists).
Canaris Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 there are many reasons: massages are easier (though no-one actually gets rubbed down)Less pain in a crasheasier to apply pre race rubcooler on ascents prevent the lycra pulling it outlooks cool (All roadies are gay?!)because my wife insistshygeinebecause all cyclist shave. and lastly,I worked for hours on these legs and I want others to perv. the last reason is the real reason ChUkKy 1
AndreZA Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 S2L, not with your Peugeot. MAYBE if you ride a larnier plastic poser bike.
Hog_ Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Are you a roadie or a mtbr? If you're a roadie, shaving is gay. If you're a mtbr it's twice as gay. If you're gay, problem solved! Shave away! I'll get my coat.
bduplessis Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 IT MAKES ME HORNY!!!!!!! Huh vat so!! Nee man,dis net iets wat fietsryers doen>
Wannabe Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 no speed advantage? so little it can be ignored. (BUT YOU DO FEEL FASTER)
Spinnekop Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 It feels nice when the linnen rubs.... O never mind... Coat please. Ramrod 1
Slave Posted October 21, 2008 Author Posted October 21, 2008 FOFLMFAO at all of ya. Mampara is right, not with my curent bike. Phew, I get to save a few blades and many litres of blood for a while yet.
Man with no name Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 It feels nice when the linnen rubs.... O never mind... Coat please. And that will probably be your pink silk kamerjas.... pervert
Speed Devil Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 My wife digs it when I'm all smooth My reason is for hygiene purposes. If I land up on the tar then it's easier to clean the wound and if bandages are needed then it's not so sore when removing them.
Piernas Flacas Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Ag, I've got thin legs. If I shave it's gonna look I'm doing a hand-stand
Sean Badenhorst Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 When you do shave your legs, shave your arms too. Looks marginally less dorky than just shaved legs.
