shave your legs in there, too?

OP are you just starting out? I got soreness when I first started riding, but that pretty much never happens nowadays. Now if I suddenly go out for a 60 mile ride, yeah I might hurt a little the next day. But for regular commuting which is two 15.5 mile rides in a day, it doesn't bother me much at all.
