Slave Posted October 21, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted October 21, 2008 Share S2L, not with your Peugeot. MAYBE if you ride a larnier plastic poser bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog_ Posted October 21, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Devil Posted October 21, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piernas Flacas Posted October 21, 2008 Share Ag, I've got thin legs. If I shave it's gonna look I'm doing a hand-stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Badenhorst Posted October 21, 2008 Share When you do shave your legs, shave your arms too. Looks marginally less dorky than just shaved legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
