    i can’t believe that it makes really any difference to a regular cyclist, but i’m willing to be proved wrong

    It’s just for looks but I seriously don’t understand why guys want to look like they have women’s legs. I’ve been pushed to do it for years by peers but I shall never cave!

    Personally I like the hairy legs look for blasting past others. It’s kinda like putting V6 in a Mini and leaving the outside to look completely standard.

    My thoughts entirely….. but a friendly, nonchalant, “Alright mate!” as you go by helps

    Well spotted!!! This was the most helpful review…

    “DO NOT PUT ON KNOB AND BOLLOCKS
    Being a loose cannon who does not play by the rules the first thing I did was ignore the warning and smear this all over my knob and bollocks. The bollocks I knew and loved are gone now. In their place is a maroon coloured bag of agony which sends stabs of pain up my body every time it grazes against my thigh or an article of clothing. I am suffering so that you don’t…”

    You have got to read the one, “Oh the shame…”
    Thank you Valkyrie; you have made my day….

    *By “chicks” I mean other males, possibly even ten or fifteen years your senior.

    **By “dig it” I mean acknowledgement via a chin jut or barely perceptible nod of approval.

    Benefits? I’m sorry, I don’t understand…

    It’s just how it should be if you ride a road bike. If you don’t shave your legs you ain’t doing it right.

    Yep, tried it once too but the constant swishing of my trousers against bare skin was very distracting. Annoying to be reminded every five seconds you have shaved your legs. So I now trim to a No.1 once a month, same effect just much less hassle.

    Shaving my legs for the 2nd
    Shaving my legs for the 2nd season and yes, it’s mainly peer pressure/looking like a cyclist. Shaved legs look better in lycra shorts.

    However, about ten days ago I had a crank break and ended up on the tarmac. Luckily i was going uphill and it was a relatively low speed tumble nothing worse than road rash on my leg and arm. It is much easier to deal with cleaning and treating road rash on shaved legs – glad they were smooth.

    the stubble gets annoying though, feels a bit odd in shorts on my Brompton through London, but looks the part on my road bike
