That must make me a major Fred, hairy legs, long hair, no helmet, and
often a very non aero beard.
I can't go fast that way but all the wind drag gets me some good workouts.

Don't worry, Bill. You could remove every hair from your body and wear
the latest, hippest, eurogear with matching helmet and everyone here
would *still* know you're a Fred. ;-)

Yeah,
But a Fred who gets his exercise the way he likes.

Give it up. The dodges and excuses for shaving legs (and no arms or

Neither dodges nor excuses are needed. Fashion is enough justification, like any other fashion.
Nothing wrong with that.

It's a mixture of fashion, cultural pressure and utility. WTF cares? We
might as well be arguing about why men wear pants, women wear dresses
and Scottsmen wear kilts.

BTW, my own CMT has made a point that I haven't seen here. Shavers
don't require as much oil. So there's a conservation angle too.

I ask you again -- have you performed a massage on a hairy leg and a
smooth leg? If so, what did you find?

I don't know why, but that just disturbs me... whatever it is, I'm
pretty sure I don't want to find it... ;-)

Being one of 3 unrepentant cyclists at our club
races who havent bothered I would like to know why?

Because painting racing stripes on their helmets would add too much
weight.

As for why those "serious cyclists" shave their legs, I have no idea. As
a bearded man since before many of them were born, I haven't figured out
why they shave their faces, much less their legs.

For some of us, a beard is just a massive itch.

Why is this garbage cross-posted into a mountain biking newsgroup?

Misplaced expression of Ptolemaic orthodoxy?

Isn't that an awful lot of polysyllabic terms for the mountain biking
newsgroup?

For some a beard means never having to wonder, "What did I have for dinner
last night?"
