To Shave or Not To Shave
Hi All,
Obviously its starting to get a little warmer now, and nearly time to break out the shorts.
What are your feelings on whether to shave legs or not?

shave
I've never bothered either, but having just spent a lot of money on new aero shorts, I'm wondering whether to go the whole way!

Legs are to be carefully shaved at all times. If, for some reason, your legs are to be left hairy, make sure you can dish out plenty of hurt to shaved riders, or be considered a hippie douche on your way to a Critical Mass.

Once again, Velominati puts an end to a forum argument.
Personally I don't, but that's not for any real reason other than that I'd need a strimmer. If you're undecided, you could bridge both camps by just shaving one leg or half of each one.
It's your choice isn't it. You're clearly going to get people who do shave saying yes go for it, while those who don't saying don't bother. If you want to shave your legs, just go for it, you don't need to ask permission
