    Smile Why does my husband shave his legs?

    I know why I do but why does my cyclist husband shavve his legs. He has never given me an explanitation. But when he first asked me how I told him the look would be better without the goatee.

    He is more aerodynamic with shaved legs. Also leg hair can cause uncomfortable chafing on longer rides when rubbing against his shorts and saddle. Not sure about this one, but maybe it keeps him cooler during hot rides in the summer?

    Less hair = less road rash. Hair will actually rip the skin off your flesh where bare skin has at least a chance of sliding.
