I blame my long undies.

mattface 03-09-06 09:05 AM

I don't roll my pants, my jeans won't even roll past my calves, and I've had a bald patch on the back of my calves since... well probably about as long as I've had hair on my legs.

your pants can rub your hair off. it's not that odd.

I know. We've been over this before. :D

I never could figure out what the hell caused this. I don't know why I never made the connection.

Oh, yeah, probably 'cause I'm an idiot.

the hair rubs off the top of my thighs. i guess it's b/c of my tight hipster pants.

i wear bike shorts under my pants everyday for 10+ hours for work n such, and then not taking them off afterwards when hanging out etc... and my hair on my bum and upper thigh is non existant now.

noisebeam 03-09-06 10:45 AM

Nope. I've never worn long pants while cycling.

I have two bald spots. One is from a third degree burn, backed into a low BBQ grill, and the other is from a poor drop in off of a brick ledge. I raked ny shin down the brick and peeled a couple of layers of meat off, no more hair growth. But I shave them anyway.

well, waxed actually

My legs get kind of dry and itchy in the winter so I just attribute the bald patch to scratching all the hair off.

yarr 03-09-06 12:10 PM

back of my calves and top of my thighs feel like a stubbly face, i think its mostly attributed to skating but now that i think about it biking probably isnt helping either.
oh well

efarrar 03-09-06 12:27 PM

Thank god I was wondering if I was going bald in a very weird way....hehe I kinda figured it was due to rubbage on my jeans since it is at the widest part of my calf...but still thought it was weird.
