When he won the TDF. Proof if proof were needed!

I see your baby-faced TdF winner and I raise you with one bearded World TT Champion!

Us beardies may be slower but we tend to go on a lot longer, further and harder than those that hardly need to shave.

I rest my case.

Since we don't have to shave we start earlier

 

[The_Cycling_Scientist]

Ahh.... This is why I'm a tad slow? Bummer!

I'm sorry to say no science will shave this chin

I will have my Pi and eat it! Hehe

I thonk a study in a wind tunnel showed no difference on beards. Shaved legs did make a difference.
Not going to shave mine though

My mother-in-law is pretty slow on her bike so case proved.

I think there might be something in this you know.
Ever since I went "full beard" a couple of Months ago, I've made no speed improvements whatsoever.

However, it's a worthy sacrifice for the huge benefits of being bearded and one I'm prepared to live with
