I know this has been a hot debate on Bikeradar. But I just wondered whos shaving their legs now we no longer need Wookie levels of furry insulation ?

I've never tried it before, I don't know if I should take the plunge?

Time to shave those guns?

    I'm not particularly hairy so don't shave my legs, plus I'm not a girl so thats the real reason.

    I have 2cm long blonde hair all over my legs.

    I refuse to remove this this because:

    a) I can't afford lots of sports massages
    b) I don't race
    c) I have a terrible tolerance for waxing, just doing my hands for my wedding had me very unhappy, and shaving just seems like far too much effort.
    d) My mates would take the micky out of me for the rest of my life.

    So I do have hairs sticking out of my shorts....

  • I'm currently sporting 3/4 length bibs and so legs shaved upto and including the knees. My wife doesn't think this is a 'good' look. She knows nothing.

    Photos of hands with rings on, it looks smarter. Had my eyebrows neatened up as well.

    I was puzzled until I saw your location and clearly such modern grooming methods haven't reached the boonies of Shropshire yet........

    Personally you could have photo shopped the hair from your hands while retaining the masculine werewolf paw look you seem to suffer from :wink:
