My partner and sons wont, and my partner has the rep of having the second hariest legs at Ramblers (the local club)
My partner wants a medal at next years national competitions and reckons if there is some research showing that shaving legs will improve his time in a TT, he will shave.
I'd quite like him to shave from the perspective of his massuese, because it would be easier to massage his calves and thighs.
Any research out there anyone knows of?
(He def has "sexy" not "bird"

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

It depends on the guy. I think some of them look stupid with shaved legs especially when they aren't all that good. But some look really good that way. Of the three guys on my team one shaves and the other two don't. The guy who shaves is the slowest, so much for making people faster. The other two are really fast guys. One has thin muscular legs while the other guy has bigger and more muscular legs. I think that for most men it is a status symbol that says to others hey I race bikes. Even though he may be last in every race.

I think shaved legs on men is HOT!!! I could never go back to a hairy guy. Shave their arms, legs, back, clip everything else really short- that's perfect. BF says if he wins the lottery he's getting laser hair removal.
Even if it doesn't make 'em faster, it makes road rash easier to clean up!

My boyfriend gets red spots all over the place. I don't know if he'll do it again anytime soon. But he's going from "chicken" to "sexy" legs
It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

When my son raced, he shaved his legs. I don't know if his times got faster, but everyone on the team did it, so he did. He got really good at shaving. I thought it took a lot of self esteem for a 15 year old to do this.
I can't get used to him with hairy legs now.
