Some say having hairless legs is a vital part of being a real cyclist, while others say the faff isn't worth the highly debatable advantages. This video demonstrates a quick and simple depilation technique that leaves doubters with no excuse not to at least try it.
The clip shows probably the most straightforward way of getting the hair off your legs, a technique that's as simple as it is refreshingly dangerous.
We've no idea who this hirsute pyromaniac is. We originally encountered this clip on the Facebook page of Pedro Martínez Torremocha, but this YouTube version predates that by about eight months.
Important legal disclaimer: We're kidding, we don't think this is a good idea. Don't try this at home or indeed anywhere else, and if you are silly enough to try it don't come crying to us, but really, just don't try it all, okay?

I’ve seen that on drunken sports tours in Spain (the mankini bit)! Funny as fuck – watching someone with their pubes alight!!! =))

Having had my ears flamed at
Having had my ears flamed at a Turkish barbers recently (a service I didn’t even ask for, incidentally!), I can attest that this technique works brilliantly and doesn’t hurt at all, certainly a lot less than waxing. It does however create a smell that’s even more disgusting than Immac.
Often used to see something
Often used to see something similar at the barbers when I was a kid, but in that case it was neck hair, and a lighted taper, IIRC.

It is the way he is waving it
It is the way he is waving it around right by his curtains. He could lose a lot more than his leg hair. But oh the irony if his bikes were destroyed in the fire.

Eh? You are losing touch with reality. Obviously real men have legs like apes and still go faster than all you nancy boys. You probably discuss your poncy leg hair removal techniques at the hairdressers, whilst doing your nails.
Why waste money on a blow
Why waste money on a blow torch? Stand in front of your cooker, life your leg over the gas hob, light and rotate said leg like a pig on a spit.
Simples.
