Why do so many Pro Racing Cyclists now have Beards ?

We only have to look at Nature to get the answer! the fastest animals regarding less Drag are the Cheetah with micro short hair,and the Dolphin with no hair!

Fastest animal is a peregrine falcon.

Fastest animal is a peregrine falcon.

And that's not clean shaven.

Has anybody tried plucking one to see what would happen?



I suspect what would happen is you'd get your eyes pecked out but you know what I mean.

Tbf, they get up to about 60mph in level flight. So a fair comparison would be to measure a cheetah and dolphin falling to earth, as well as a peregrine, to see which is the fastest.

It would beat Galileo and his balls as an interesting test.

I think that the main reason so many have beards is because they don't shave.

Apparently some Mexican bats are pretty fast, and they are pretty bald, so the OP might have a case, and some fish are nippy.

But even a hairy lion can do 60 at a push, before he needs a snooze again.

I bet an elephant would be the fastest animal In that scenario

I think that more are clean shaved, than those who are beardy

Better looking with the beard . . . that is what they were testing, right?

I think the Kinks had this worked out in the sixties, lyrics included for your delectation and delight
The lines
one week he’s in polka dots, the next week he’s in stripes, is quite telling, as is the about pulling his nylon panties right up tight

Yes, the anti shaving world tour

Tsh tsh tsh. 500 years after Galileo and still confusing weight and acceleration.
Anyways, its big ears would cause drag like dumbo. Asian elephants though ...

Beginning to wonder if it’s a Russian Bot planting spy messages in the forum for secret agents to pick up.
