Used to shave regularly back in the racing days. Nowadays it's hit and miss. Currently I'm a little furry.

I read somewhere wearing tight racing clothes saves like 2 seconds every 30 kilometers or something, assuming you're moving 27mph.

Shaved legs are easier/faster to wipe off at end of day- helps keep sleeping bag clean on long TDR type multi days-only times I bother

I like my legs like I like my face, covered in hair. (but I can see how shaved legs might stay cleaner easier)

Unshaved legs do repel mosquitos, at least by providing interference with the landing/biting surface. Just got on a bike ride with your shave-legged girlfriend to find out.

Seriously, what kind of a question is that?!!! We might need to deduct some man points for even asking the question.   |

Purely optional. I tend to not want to bother with either when on a trip. So I come back shaggy from long bike tours, backpacking trips, or bike packing. At home I have gone through phases where I shave or not.

I haven't drank a drop of alcohol in my life (well, except for a spoonful of vanilla once...) and haven't shaved since 2006... |
