Apparently all serious cyclists

Apparently all serious cyclists shave their legs.
Being one of 3 unrepentant cyclists at our club
races who havent bothered I would like to know why?

I worked for a guy once that exclusively cited his own work for
reference. Not long after I left, the majority of his work was refuted
(correctly) by other guys who cited reputable third parties and
independent research.

I guess what I'm saying is: Jobst, if you want to prove your point,
cite someone other than yourself.

Do you have any third party support for your claim that one ought to
cite others? How can we trust your personal anecdote?

The reason to cite yourself isn't to prove a point, but to avoid
repeating the same arguments over and over and over. Unfortunately,
too many are not thus inhibited.

He's not citing himself, he's just not typing it again.

In reverse order...

5. Makes them more aerodynamic snicker

4. Makes massages easier

3. Easier to clean the inevitable road rash and less risk of infection

2. Show off their well-muscled legs

And the drum roll please....

1. Because that's what cyclists have always done and everyone else does it!

Don't know why others do it, but I know why you don't. You're a Fred.
