    Hmm. I thought the reason cyclists shaved their legs was to avoid hairy complications with the inevitable road rash from taking a turn too fast and wiping out. I can't imagine it'd affect your time, unless it's some kind of placebo effect! :smile:

    Competitive cyclists I knew shaved their legs for this reason. Shaving hair around a road rash afterwards to prevent infection would be very painful and hard to do and the scarring afterwards would be worse. I'd also heard that it made pre and post race massages or for when they got a leg cramp to massage out much easier to deal with for the team masseuse.

    I agree you're crazy for asking your wife. You're a man. Do what you want. You don't need her approval.
