Leg Hair does make you slower

Flâneur

A scientific experiment by yours truly as found that leg hair does make you slower.

For various reasons my leg hair has been growing for the last 2 weeks and over those two weeks my speeds/times are all getting worse.

Now like any bad experiment, my controlled variables were uh none. not the weather, bike, kit, hydration even the route. In fact I'm pretty sure that I am drinking less in the day and having 0 on the bike as I've been on the CX.

Anyway conclusive results leg hairs make you slower

Add on shaving time and hairy is quicker overall.

shaving? Wax sir, saves time and proves a point to the date.

I do wear tights/leg warmers. Nothing more vile than leg hairs sticking out of tights. Probably the only reason for you unkept crudders to wear baggies

Probably not the point you are hoping for though.

Better insulation with hair.
