No. If I were to start shaving my legs, I'd pretty much have to start shaving my chest, stomach, ass, crotch and taint or I'd end up with a rather unsightly "hair line," which would be a hair's breadth (GET IT?!?!?!?!?!) more unsightly than my sasquatchian countenance.

Mmm, I have a rule that no hair on my body is longer than the hair on my head. It's not shaving, it's hair control. My clippers and #2 attachment get alot of use!
Picture the intro to the "Malcom in the Middle" sitcom when they show Dad getting a body buzz in the kitchen with the morning paper covering his privates : )
I basically grew to hate the feeling of 2 inch long arm/leg hair flapping in the wind for 30 miles a day and combing out the bugs at the end of the ride. That's why I do it.

I used to, back when I did a lot of amateur racing. My gf used to massage my legs after races, and massages are much better when there is no hair in the way. Now I don't really think it's worth the bother, I just ride for transportation and fun.
For those who who want to know the technique, here it is. At the end of your shower, use bar soap on your legs until you get a nice foam. Use the razor in an up and down motion. The upstroke shaves, the downstroke clears the hair from the razor and allows for a closer and more comfortable shave.
Using so much soap on your legs will dry out your skin, so use Lubriderm or some other quality lotion on them. Lubriderm is also a good chamois lubricant as well.
The best part about shaving your legs is the feeling of the sheets on your skin when you go to bed.
