How many violate Rule 33

huffalotpuffalot

I have only just started cycling so I was just wondering how many people violate Rule 33 http://www.velominati.com/blog/the-rules/#33

To a greater or lesser extent, I follow the rule. I don't bother in winter as the legs are under longs, but during the season I get depressed if I have hairy legs. It just doesn't look atheltic or asthetic.

I violate it 'cos I'm a rebel. :P

I dunno about Rule 33, but I definately break rules 38, 79 and 81!

I'm no where near serious enough a cyclist to shave my legs

I am slow enough that I would look like a right pillock going round with shaved legs.

Think I'll stick with the hirsute approach.

Little bits of toilet tissue stuck to your legs is NOT cool. 8)

I've mentioned this before with regards to "The Rules", but never gotten a answer.

Why is there no Rule 38? It jumps from 37 to 39.

Not checked the rules, but from reading this thread... I abide by rule 33
All year round!

I'd look more stupid with shaved legs than hairy ones. mind you they carry bald patches from when i used to play ice hockey. neverused to wear anything (except pants) under my kit and we used to tape shin pads into place. after a few years of this, oddly the hair never grew back.

The rest of me is so hairy I'd need a full body wax to compensate, not happening.

I think shaving legs is for others of a more delicate persuasion.

There are no 'rules' to cycling, unless we are talking about the Highway Code or Race Rules!

Blokes are meant to have hairy legs. I can just about be bothered to shave my face once a week.

Reading articles like "The Keepers" - makes me want to grow a beard and buy a Powermeter. I see 'The Rules' as a bit of a challenge to how many you can break.

Think I have broken almost every one of those rules, and I have NO intentions of this rule being an exception lol
Those are amusing rules though, particularly like the Livestrong band one... Made me chuckle

I love the 'Rules' on that site, done very much tounge in cheek in my opinion and people who get arsey with them just don't get it!

As for shaving, if and when I can climb the hills I currently struggle with without looking like the hairy legged novice I am, I might consider it.

Plus, every time I looked down after shaving them I'd have a moment of shock wondering who the feck was pedaling my bike :shock:

Pssshhhhhhhtttt, just dish out some hurt

TBH it's the option i'm taking. Shaving/waxing is too much hassle for my liking.

I dish out the hurt :twisted:

I ride full chewbacca - screw the Rules!
