Deuteronomy 17:2-7
"If there is found in your midst, in any of your towns, which the LORD your GOD is giving you, a man who does what is evil in the sight of the LORD your GOD, by transgressing HIS covenant, and has gone and bicycled unshaven, which I have not commanded, and if it is told you and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire thoroughly.
Behold, if it is true and the thing certain that this detestable thing has been done in any bicycle race,
then you shall bring out that man who has done this evil deed, and you shall stone him to death.
So you shall purge the evil from your midst.

Stoning is illegal these days. The modern law is "Thou shalt not be allowed in a paceline".

Oh good, I've been waiting for someone to bring up Deuteronomy/Exodus so I can ask this: Does Subway's flatbread count as unleavened?

Similar to the symbolic notion that leaven represents sin, that spreads or expands throughout a person, leg hair is also symbolic of sin. As hair grows on a person it represents sin, growing within that person outward, to be witnessed by others infecting those near, the church and eventually the whole world. Thus shaving off said hair is shaving off the burden of sin thus conforming one's life to what GOD commands.
I am spreading the word of the LORD our GOD through shaved legs...and trimmed other body parts.
