Do you know laser hair removal hair ?

Hi, I'm Robbie.

I am riding bike more and more often and I was wondering if it was a good idea to shave my legs...
What do you guys think? Is it any good for the perf? Or it is just a big mistake?

See you everybody

Cheers Robbie, welcome to Bike Forums.

I usually shave parts of skin too while I'm at it, to get more aero and weight advantage for my bike commuting.

…I've always thought the reason for leg-shaving was to make treating road-rash easier (from the POV of reducing infection, and easing removal of dressings!)

I depends on how serious you are at being an elite level rider. I personally have given up that thought.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

You need to shave your head, too.
