I can not imagine to shave my legs
so I shaved my head instead. Does it count?
I never got used to the helmet and the smooth head helps me to go faster - and the sun reflection is like a safety sticker

It's freaking me to see the Milkman Dan avatar on this board. Now you say you've shaved your head too?

Shaving your legs feels strange at first, but then you get used to it and hairy legs look weird after that.

Shave your nuts. Then shaving your legs is not so hard.

i shave my head and legs, as well as most of the nether regions. think how much weight i save.
i predict as humans evolve they'll have less and less hair. i figure i'm just ahead of the curve.

I've always thought about shaving my head, but when I ride with no cap, I get this awesome 80's feathered hair look. Like a Jew-Fro. One guy from my group said I have Andy Hampsten hair, while my coach looks EXACTLY like Bob Roll.

Whenever I see a guy with really hairy legs (especially dark hair) it's close to repulsive and I'm reminded of yet another reason I shave.
