Why? Do you think it makes you appear more "serious" about cycling? Do you judge men who do or don't?


Just curious, and yeah, this board needs more action.

    Brought to you by this picture a biker friend posted on facebook. At first I wasn't sure it if was a man or woman.

    But after opening it, I'm pretty sure it's Sonya Looney and not my friend Eric.

    No. I get the supposed benefits, but none of those benefits apply to me.

    .

    What are the supposed benefits? Just scabs and leg hair don't mix?

    Nope.

    At the level I ride, the 0.0005% reduction in drag is simply not a factor.

    I thought it was just a tradition, kinda like hauling dead pine trees in your house every December?

    Yes. For years.

    My legs take care of me and I take care of them. It is much easier without hair.
    A masseuse is much appreciative of legs sans hair.

    When they can take it from my legs and transplant it back unto my forehead I might seriously consider it.

    I keep joking that I don't shave my face often because I heard they can turn my face upside down in surgery to remove my bald spot.

    Did last year, mainly because I was pretty much held together with kinesio tape, and with legs like a wool rug, it simply didn't stick.

    This year, nope.

    I most certainly do.

    1) It's more comfortable, (botth in cycling and running)
    2) There's not much hair to begin with AND there's a large area on my right calf that is hairless, so I just finish the job.

    I did when I cycled TT for the clubs.

    I may decide to when I start next year.

    But now, no. I'm not that vain!

    I agree, I either veet or nair, find it lasts longer and no chance of cutting yourself .

    Plus it makes my legs look sexy - vascular and muscles

    I was hair-free for a period last year, then let it grow back...

    Much better off TBH, but a faff to keep it off - I feel for you women!

    P.S. Prefer hair removal cream to shaving :wink: :laugh:

    Never. I don't have much to begin with.
