Leg shaving....

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Blimey! Price of that thing!

That is a downside 😂

I do from the neck down

I'm hairy, all the group I cycle with are hairy, there's not a leg shaver between us.
it's news to us that we might not be considered serious cyclists, nobody's levelled that accusation at us yet!

I think it was a very tongue in cheek remark, shaving legs can be a good idea.

At my age, I have little enough hair and want to preserve what I have left, wherever it is. So no.

This...

If I come off the bike and get gravel rash I am going to be happy I did not have hairy legs at the time.

Pedal faster !

Nah, don't shave my legs. The fuzz starts at my ankles, goes up my legs, bum crack, back and all the way to my beard.

As I remember, isn’t that a pre-requisite to join the RGJ ?
😁

Shaving legs can be a good idea I agree, I don't have an issue with it and I'm sorry if my comment came across as "anti shaving", that wasn't my intent.
I was addressing the OPs belief that some may see him as an inexperienced cyclist, or not a "proper" cyclist if he has hairy legs. Of course lots of serious cyclists don't shave. I don't think I've ever looked at someone's legs to note whether they shave or not and then form an opinion on their experience from that, it strikes me as something of a crackers notion!

The OP isn’t even down to me considering myself an inexperienced cyclist at all really, just more of a curiosity thing! I’m tempted to try it once and see if I like it or not, that’s all there is too it really!

I partially shaved my thigh this morning in preparation for getting a tattoo tomorrow.

Does that count?

Reminds me of when I played football and a team I played for turning up and hammering other teams, despite us having a kit donated to us whilst other teams in our league had it all, full training suits with their initials and sponsors on for warm ups, proper nice kit etc. We would usually spank them. Same with the notion about 'proper cyclists' and image. Fck the others, gently give them a nod as you overtake them with your hairy legs and lidl kit. Even better give them a ring of your bell, ask them if they want to draft you.

Start with one leg first for a week to see if you like it then either do the other leg or not after you have decided.

Or scream like a child when the nurse rips the dressing off of your hairy legs.

Unless you're a pro (or a girlie) - why? Just..... why??

my leg hair is very blond and very thick which means my legs don't so much look hairy... they just look out of focus, which is weird.
