Well I'd like to start off by reminding readers of my sarcasm the majority of my posts. And sharing my view on "shavers" is no different. Hope I didnt offend you 2Smoke or any other "shavers" out there. Lets face it, shaving has gained in popularity with metrosexual men. That's just a fag, I mean fact
Im not ignorant about the shaving excuses, I've heard them before as I too used to be a cyclist myself so I've heard this many times. I still dont buy the reason completely. If it were THAT important they wouldnt even wear shorts to begin with. If it were THAT important the majority of competitive downhill Mt. bikers would do it. They crash more often then road guys do! And there other high risk fall down sports that most dont shave for. Seriously, skaters dont shave. Rock climbers dont shave. I think it is more a personal body preference, and it has gained in popularity in the cycling world. Maybe it all started when Pro cyclists discovered a milasecond was "shaved" off their time in a race. I personally think it is more trend related then anything. I think there is a large group of men who love to be smooth and this gives them a good excuse to shave and wear their smooth legs proudly.
I find a man more attractive with hair on his legs because to me it is more of a natural man thing to have. Im not saying you arnt manly 2smoke. It is sort of like some may judge me on dressing in jeans and Tee shirts a lot as being dude"ish," maybe appearing not feminine enough for some people's taste. Or, perhaps if I had a short, boyish haircut it would turn some off. Many dont care for women with boyish looks and some do. Just as some women dont care for men in spandex with smooth, oiled legs
No right or wrong with the shave thing. Just MY observation in the cyclist world.
Peace

Me, I shave my leg once from mid shine to mid thigh when I had to wear a neoprene knee brace for a few months. I was tired of the hair getting pulled out by the brace. I mentioned "once" right? Yea, I would rather have my hair pulled out.
Sun, For starters I was NOT calling you uninformed or ignorant. However............... When I was a young man and getting into competitive cycling. Those where the reasons I was told. I think I was like 15 or 16 at the time. So........... Because I dont really KNOW you except for in this forum, I must assume that you were uninformed.
No harm no foul

Now you didnt answer my question though. Do I still retain my man card? Or have I lost it forever? I havent shaved my legs in better than 20 years.

I shaved and it looked like a bald rat. The hardest part was week 3 when all the hair curls back. Makes it look like you have jock itch, it didn't help with my speed either, I was still slow, steady, and easy.
Oh, your all welcome for this information as well.

James, from what I can gather from this thread : 1. Trav is willing to experiment by shaving his chest; 2. Sun is not a fan of guys shaving; 3. 2Smoke put some miles on his bike with shaved legs; 4. CDA shaved his legs and realized that shaving was worse than pealing his knee brace off with hair attached; 5. Palmer shaved because he thought the mighty Oak would look huge amongst the shorn shrubbery......What the frack just happened in here?
