I rarely shave my legs during the season let alone during the off-season.

What a pain to shave in the spring if you've haven't touched them all winter ... it takes forever ! Just a quick run with the razor once or twice a week during ski season is no big deal. Doesn't anybody here live where you NEED to grease up the legs in spring to keep them warm ?

it never occurred to me that there's an off-season? what makes the season "off"? Are you guys in areas where it snows regularly? Don't tell me that just because it's cold you spend the winter on a trainer?

I got sick of shaving mine awhile ago - mine are pretty hairy and grow fast, so after 2 days or so, it would start looking funny unless I shaved.
Alright...should start a new poll....how many guys DON'T shave their legs....

I dont hardly shave my beard let alone my legs. If i was in cali then i probably would but here in ohio guys with shaved legs = strange looks. Not a huge number of cyclists here in my area. Not that it matter much i dont ware shorts i just ware plain old street cloths i might get me some baggys next season ad a jersey. My current pants are starting to cramp up my calves now that im getting back in shape. I can def tell the diffrence im in better shape now than when i started but depending on the pants i ware if they are to tight around the legs i start to tire alot faster than i looser fitting pants. So its time for shorts enxt season i would say.

I voted yes, it's turned into an obsessive compulsive thing now. Do my arms, underams, legs, chest, stomach, and unmentionables.
The arms, chest, and underarms I only use the clippers on the closest setting. If I spent any longer shaving I wouldn't get anything done.

Off-season??? 
I know lots of younger cyclists (teen - 40+) shave.
Now for the question of the hour, "Who's the oldest shaver?"

I did it, once, during x-country season. South Texas heat and a summer of training in it will drive a man to do ANYTHING to make it better. Yeah, it helps your legs cool faster, it's easier to clean off the mud (cycling translation: road rash), and it does...accentuate....certain benifits to your training regime. But the effort just wasn't worth it. The rewards did not outweigh the time spent shaving to get them.
