Bicycle racing reminds me of NASCAR racing...in Europe they don't have near the courtesy they do here and there are a crap load of accidents in bike races. In one race an Italian intentionally put his left pedal into my front rim, ripping out all my front spokes and causing a nasty crash....shaved legs are easier to clean up and bandage. I only had road rash. It's not my balance that was the problem, its close or dirty racing.
I could do this, but I won't! 3 shaved into back hair - Bing Images 3 shaved into back hair - Bing Images 3 shaved into back hair - Bing Images
Um... sometimes wasn't an option. In winter... probably not. In summer, yes. rather than shaving, though, I use an epililator... a million tiny tweezers...
I'm with Rae Vynn. Summer only. And in Washington State that can be a very short period! I only wear shorts if it is above 79!
