    However what advantages other than increased definition does hairless legs provide?

    There needs to be no other advantage.

    Exactly. If you're gonna crush someone's soul, then you may as well give them a fearful warning by showing your chiselled legs.

    You do have chiselled legs, right?

    Discussed this with the OH this morning. The response was approximately "I can tolerate there being bike stuff lying around the place and washing sweaty Lycra. But you are NOT shaving your manly legs."

    Fair enough.

    Pretty much? She left out the word 'manly' didn't she? Harsh.

    I already get accused of wearing fetish gear, and I don't even wear lycra as outerwear.

    If you are a racer (time triallist or road racer) with hairy legs you will look very odd indeed to everybody else.
