I ride with 42 guys & I love the shaved legs. Guys muscle up better than us & you can see every ropey tendon in some of them...very virile looking. They don't all do it & somehow the ones who don't look messy (& feral). Isn't it meant to be better incase of a dreaded abrasion? Helps stop bacteria entering the wound or something. Mind you, most of the negative comments about shaved legs come from other guys. Could be jealousy, you know.
