I consided shaving before but at first was quite apprehensive. I finally decided to give it a try.
I like how smooth my legs feel now

. I didnt realize it took so long to shave.
Here are the two reasons I know of why cyclist shave
1. Slight aerodynamic advantage
2. and crash recovery
I went out riding yesterday with my new shaved legs and I beat my best time for the 20.2 mile course that I do
by one whole minute. Alot of it probably has to do with the fact that I had an awesome recovery from a previous ride on the same course like 2 days ago. But still I think the shaved legs made me a bit faster.
So do you guys shave your legs and if so why?
Oh yea checkout before and after, leg on the left hasn't been shaved yet, and the leg on the right has just been shaved
