Leg shaving....

[canyon80]

Or leg waxing!!

who all here does it? Been kind of tempted to give it a try for a laugh more than anything! But how common actually is it amongst your general amateurs like on here?

🙊 Daily

Just do one leg.. It'll help you corner faster!

I can’t see any benefit (or humour) in it tbh so don’t bother.

 

[Darius_Jedburgh]

I do it. But only in summer.
I'm no poser, but if you ever meet other cyclists and you have legs as hairy as mine it is embarrassing. Unshaven legs make others think you are not a serious cyclist.

Stupid, of course. But if you do come off it helps when cleaning the crap out of your legs, and getting plasters off.

At present there's the added danger than hairy legs will make others think that you are a lockdown cyclist.

I’m a cyclist, I shave my legs. Chewbacca legs just look wrong. Plus I race and would just get laughed at, unless I shaved aero trips for an advantage

When I was testing and winning, the big boys shaved legs, applied fake tan and then oiled legs before a race.
It did look good. Psychological pressure on your opponents.

Yes.
But I'm guessing this is a thread for blokes

Show us yours and I'll show you mine

Any bets on how long it is before someone asks "where do you stop?"

Where do you think you stop?
At the top. Of course.
No Brazilians though; that's a different thread

No shaving, I'm not very hairy, life's too short. and me no like stubble

Maybe wax em once a year, just for larks, but it's not happened yet, and it's July already!! ...

At the top? Or at the bottom?

I veet'd once never again as the hair struggled to come out and caused horrible rashes, but the last month I lost my cool with the lockdown hair and took the clippers to my head followed by my legs up to the shorts line and not only did i look better both ends but no rash, leg has grown out again and starting to look like a gorilla again, so i might redo them.
