Well, I've found it's not that hard, doesn't add that much time to my shower, and I do nowhere near the complaining I've heard women do in the past. That being said, I think by Nov. 1 I'll be growing the winter coat back again. thermal base layer for my winter tights.

When I get road rash the hair that was attached to the skin that is now gone is also gone. Air is the best treatment for road rash so do not dress it unless absolutely neccessary. Gauze pads with elastic net and a little tape. If the pads get stuck remove them in the shower. I get just as much road rash above the knee as below the knee. Shorts have never offered much protection.

I remember a chick asking me how far up I shaved. I replied: all the way to the good stuff. It turned out to be a long and satisfying night. Doesn't always work out that way, but like that one good golf shot, it keeps you coming back for more.

I remember doing something similar....but my night ended with her boyfriend kicking my ass.....YES, things dont always work out the way they did for you.

So true. Some of these poodle cuts I don't get. I like poodles though. Really smart dogs.

To correct myself, you can get medial injuries against your bike components , but they are very rare compared to lateral surface pavement rubs.

Why do girls shave their legs, and armpits? I have no idea. Like the perfectly evolved woman will be hairless, except on the head, or may even there?

Evolution hates hippies.

I started shaving my legs, then tried the arms. Seeing how there wasn't much hair on my chest I decided to get rid of that too. Twice a week minimum, every other day in the peak of summer.

I love it and will keep it smooth even over the winter when there's no racing. Except for the arms, those can be hairy again for winter.
