Skip the excuses, shaved legs is a matter of style and group belonging. I shave my legs because I think it look good

heh heh, it cracks me up how far people will go with excuses to shave their legs!!



a prereq for racing? bizarre. Where do you live? I have never seen that in 100's of races all over the world.

indeed, brings that old question how far do you shave to a whole new dimension, not to mention when the UCI official is going to inspect for suspected rule violations

so you haven't noticed the caravan right next to anti-dopage, where riders are escorted to straight after the race to have their leg stubble measured?

[fredrikw]

aha, I better be extra careful when I shave my legs next time then.

graem obree'd hour record was illegal because he used the superman position and his leg hair was to substantial for him to be regarded as a proper racer

Yes that's right, and if the stubble is too long or doesn't go up far enough, they get sent to another caravan, where they are waxed in a particularly brusque and quite inconsiderate manner.

Don't pros shave their arms as well, just so that it matches?

[cyclebot]

don't forget the luuurvezone ... damn, that's just crazy

but still ... after next week, I'm starting shaving!
(just the legs though)

not usually, just the legs. you'll see a lot of hairy arms in a pro-peleton, but no hairy legs. got to show off what you have

Dr. Drugs, you get creepier all of the time.

Ha ha !

It was at the ten mile championship, a few years ago. There was a hail storm, and he fell off, as the hail was really thick on the road. Afterwards, he was sat in the changing rooms, waiting to have the injuries dressed (shaved legs). I sat next next to him, to have a quick chat, and picked a bit of road muck off his leg, thereby touching his leg !

See. Very innocent !

[bob_summers]

said piece of road muck is now framed at home, eh?

[bigdane]

Saved in a baggie waiting for tragedy so it can be sold on eBay for mad cash!

[fredrikw]

ooh, what an intricate variant of the reaching for the popcorn move
