Leg shaving...

[GrumpyGregry]

If you are truly hardcore you have a soigneur.
If you have a soigneur you shave your legs.
If you don't have a soigneur you are not truly hardcore but one of the many sorts of wannabe.
If you are a wannabe of any sort you do not need to shave your legs.
You do not need to shave your legs because otherwise the bigger boys will laugh and point and snigger.
If the bigger boys laugh and point and snigger at your unshaven legs get on your bike and kick their asses.
If you can't kick their asses unshaven, shaving your legs will make no difference, so get on your bike and train.

It really is that simple folks....

Or you could just not give a sh1T what other people think and make your own choices.

Don't be silly, we are talking about cyclists...

I shaved my legs at the weekend and was thanking every deity possible this morning when I got to work and realised that I'd left my leggings at home and had to sit all day in 3/4 tights. At least they're not padded mind.

Rule 33. It's just the way it is, and always has been. Started at 15, still shaving 50 years on.

Marginally off topic, but I once worked with a guy who was married to a beautician. She reckoned that the easiest way to make a bloke go all white and faint was simply to utter the words "full body wax".

"The rules" are made to be broken.

Never went that far but legs only, did hurt very much.

One of the reasons I like my cycling tights is I don't have to shave my legs every other day, although summer is coming and that will soon change

Out in the sun today and nothing. Not a hint of colour

I shaved my legs once before a cycling tour in Europe. It made life easier when I was applying sun cream to them all the time. Removing the hairs also revealed how awesome my legs were looking back then

I haven't shaved them since... and nowadays my right leg is noticeably larger than my left because of a knee injury...

This thread has almost made my mind up to "give it a go" to see what it looks like....
