For the pro look, and the convenience when fixing them up after inevitable crashing of course?
Yeh makes sense and probably a bit quicker/easier than shaving them.
.
Yes, but not wax, epilate. Why? because I'm vain and Mrs MM likes it. 😀
Go Brazilian, it's all the rage... with the girlies dontchaknow.
eh ... and you're joking right.... 😉
Me, but i'm a girl and its allowed.
Shaved legs on men [b][u]shouldn't[/b][/u] be allowed unless its on pros.
I've done mine, its really nice, my wife hates it as I stop at the bottom of the shorts, so I have hair shorts with my kit off
more "pro"
hilarious
Who do to expect will look at you and think "well if I was in any doubt that he's a pro I'm convinced now"
Unless you mean pro as in prostitute ?
Not me, I have the worst cycling legs ever! know to my riding mates as sparrow. The hair makes them look fatter and covers my varicose veins 😳
TBH, I'm surprised you don't already Yeti.

Anyone find that hair pokes through the lycra in the *ahem* groinal area? A good trim is probably in order! Wonder what the pro's do down there? Maybe that's why we wear baggies over lycra?
shaving the groinal area has the added benefit of making the cock look bigger
Looks can be, and possibly are decieving though djglover? 😉

*Runs off to bathroom with razor*
Usually look like a big enough cock when riding as it is 🙂
Shave? I do.
Started off doing it when racing cross; far easier to put embrocation on shaved legs in a freezing carpark, then far far far easier to get it off along with all the mud at the end. Carried on while road racing, same reasons really, especially when driving a long way home and no access to showers.
I wear lycra a lot to ride in and suncream goes on quicker too.
Plus, I prefer the look, being blessed with mad hairy legs..
People who get all excited about it are a wee bit silly; do it if you want to, don't if you don't, and it's ultimately [i]none of your business[/i]...

Shaved crotch and below the knees must be an interesting look!
moi - hair hanging out of road bibs looks shocking. Also other road folk look at you funny.
Hair pants can be minimized with a bit trimming and fading on the thighs.
Waxed every 4 weeks
Got one of these but cant be bothered to use it

Slipstreaming a hairy ar*ed Italian in white lycra on a very hot and balmy day is something I'm still trying to remove from my memory..
Ewe.
Spiders legs anyone?
Next year....maybe... 😈

This is horrible. You have to go at least up to the eyebrows.
I'd been off the bike for a while, so hadn't bothered shaving in a while. Rather then hacking away at the hideousness that was my legs, I had them waxed. But it didn't give a super smooth finish, so I shaved them as well.

of christ! it must look 'ace' 😆
does stop mud sticking to your legs though...
never, but I shaved my pubes off once to win a bet.
just use Veet cream. Apply, wait 6mins, shower off. Easy as
[i]ultimately none of your business[/i]
And thereby the forum closes. Forever.
aka. Why type all that then?

I have the strangest boner right now. 😐
Do you ever have a normal one?
Rarely since I joined STW Dez 🙂
Shaved legs.. Yep 🙂
Did it this year when I started racing. I think it's performance enhancing.
I've never met a guy with shaved legs who isn't quick on a bike
and it's ultimately none of your business...
Does the same go for your wig and make up?
😆

To give dull people something to complain about, obviously...
more "pro"hilarious
I aim to please 🙂 It even says that on my call card.
Seriously considering it. Strangely enough, I think it works better for mountain biking than road biking as I hate getting big matted lumps of mud stuck to my legs. Even worse is pulling them off and pulling the hair out along with it. OUCH!!!
I'm not sure that hairless legs and a kilt is a good look though....

*puts hand up and shouts coooeeee over here*
this thread is awesome.
keep yourself trim (balls, arse etc).....but shaving legs?!
I'm still sexually active, which is probably why this thread shocks me so much.
Fair play if you are married, but surely not everyone on STW is?
I can just imagine the scene. Attractive woman in your bedroom and you take your trousers off to reveal a pair of perfectly shaven legs.
"Erm, do you shave your legs?"
"yeah, it helps me ride my pushbike faster apparently. Hey, do you know that the new Hope LED lights pump out a HUGE 300 lumens??!! Hope make some awesome MTB products, a lot of my buddies on the internet don't like them because they think it's overpriced, especially their "underpowered" brakes, but oh my god the CNCing is gorgeous!!!! Do you wanna talk about IT? I'm fluent in 7 programming languages"
"ah right ok, i'm just going to go home i think."
DP, sorry.
Rusty - have you been on my Flickr site again??
Peterfile, very much enjoyed your post, but unfortunately you are wrong. As a male of the more 'hirsute' persuasion, I resent this. However, plenty of chicks still dig a hairy chest, surprisingly...
There's something wrong with that first girls waist 😯
As a non-shaver, I'm intrigued as to how the 'unsighted areas' are negotiated without a blood bath. Do partners help out? And yes, I'm trying very hard NOT to visualise it!
Not as often as I should!

Like having a smaller circumference than that of her thighs? I thought so too. Nice thighs tho.

It's not hard, unless you're really fat/unflexible.
Also, most of the girls I've met like it. Really like it.
Now I'm visualising 😛
Edit: that was typed before Realmans post unfortunately 🙁
Cream that dissolves hairs in 3 minutes? Interesting..
what about waxing/shaving the arms?
Rode with somebody the other week who had abnormally hairless arms that matched his legs .... Is this normal in the roady world?
Don't mind, even quite like shaved/ waxed legs on a bloke, but find anything else shaved a bit "german porno star" and icky.
icky? scratchy!
Not normally but yeah when I am gearing up to do a long race - various reasons - i get massaged weekly and its bluddy sore with hairy legs and also on v long expedition races (6+days non stop)i'll end up using a lot of tape normally inc duct tape and it's much easier to get off shaved legs. I apply trimmage to other areas where required for aesthetic reasons. Then i let it all grow back.
excuse my ignorance but why do you put duct tape on your legs?
Anyone noticed the irony of the OP's name and the thread?
I think hair's there to tell you where the fun is (apart from armpits, unless you like a bit o' pit).
If you must, maybe blend the groin/thigh area with either a fade, lightning bolts or an intricate lacework pattern? Or spend your time money and effort on something more constructive 😆 unless of course you have serious competition to consider...then prune ahead!
It's like team jerseys to me.
LOL @ Herman... how do I get my username changed?
I tried that Veet hair removal cream once. Living in my 1st ever flat, got a job interview and didn't own an iron for my shirt, so went round my parent's house to borrow theirs.
Whilst there, I glanced in the mirror and thought, "I could do with a shave". Sadly, my stepdad has a beard and wee brother was too young to shave. I did find a bottle of my mum's Veet though. Followed the instructions to the letter, liberally applied it all over my face, sat back and waited for it to do its stuff, glibly wondering why all blokes didn't use this stuff.
I know now - bright red, very itchy face and throat, the odd bald patch in my stubble. Panicking, I reapplied the cream with an eye on the clock, which obviously just made things much, much worse.
Didn't get the job 🙁
Lol - I have wondered why everyone didn't just use those creams (rather than wax/shave), I figured it was either cost or they give you a rash
Phil, how hairy do you have to be to shave hearts into your chest hair. LOL!!
Although I could admit to interesting erm...topiary a while back on Valentines Day 😳
luckily that's not me, one can only dream of being so sexy 🙁
I've seen pictures of you Phil, you're much sexier. 8)
As a single man, I find women are fascinated by my shaved legs. On several occasions I've been told it was almost like sleeping with a woman...
Which is a perfect opportunity to shoehorn something like "Well, you seemed to enjoy it, perhaps your friend/sister/mother/daughter (delete as appropriate) would like to join us..." into the conversation. 😉

did little shibby not want to come out and play? 😉
why thank you emsz, if i ever get a sex change you'll be first on my list (after Natalie Portman, Mila Klunis, Isla Fisher and Rachel McAdams... unless you'd like to join us?)
[i]you'll be first on my list [/i]
*looks about nervously*
For what?
well if i were to become a lady I'd of course want to go on a crazy lesbian orgy mission of course! i'm assuming the ladies mentioned will all want to have lots of lesbian encounters with me 😆
just thought i'd offer you a chance to get in on the action, unless my list displeases you? in which case i think you have bad taste and calling me sexy has less value 😛
I seem to post this link on most "leg shaving" threads, so i'll post it here:

Ah obviously 8) ...soz I'm a one woman kinda girl, I can however (once you've changed into a girl) introduce you to some other girls who'd enjoy [s]hurting, humiliating, using you for their own weird needs [/s] your company.
You do know that Mila does the voice for Meg Griffin, right? sort of puts me off. LOL
she does indeed, her character wasn't overly desirable when she was in 'that 70s show' either... but mrsconsequence likes her so i've gotta include her in the list 😀

Mrsconsequence not on Phils top lady orgy list? Um, I'm telling

I tucked Little Shibby between my thighs and squealed "D'ya think I'm purty?" 😉
I shave my legs and have done for years, since I started (slightly seriously) racing triathlon and road racing.
You can't turn up at a road race with hairy legs, it's just not the done thing 🙂

I've seen people told off by race organisers for sporting hairy legs. I suppose it's their responsibility to minimise all aspects of risk, and shaven legs make far less mess when you pick up a bit of gravel rash...
I can't imagine being told off for it, but in every possible way, it's just not cricket!
