:Last time it got bad

 

[palinurus]

Yes.

But not because your legs become more aerodynamic.

Shaving your legs will have no effect whatsoever on your performance on any ride. And this is coming from someone who already shaves....

 

[lordloveaduck]

Yes.

People will see your glistening muscular legs and want to give you and your bike a lift.

*Do not accept if it's a van with painted windows and a strong smell of bleach.

PS If you want me to vote, please have the courtesy to spell your question correctly: if you can't be bothered, then why should I?

 

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

Only if you fall off .

what 'advantage' were you expecting through shaving, incidentally..?

lol I have no clue

 

[DCLane]

I've been wolf-whistled more since I started shaving them, if that's the effect you're after

On the ride it's self I'd hope not as that ment you will have come off your bike. Before & after the ride it may make a difference as your masseur, assuming you have one, will have an easer time with your all critical leg muscles. Long term it's also useful because you get to know the 'stature' of your leg muscles & thus can tell you if you're going to hard or to easy when training.

I think even the argument that shaving the legs is for the benefit of road rash is a bunch of cobblers - I'm pretty badly scarred up on my legs from this year's racing, and didn't shave my legs at all. Shaved around the wounds post crash mind so I could stick bandages on
