no matter how many people who don't race make fun of me for shaving my legs all I have to do is think of all the times I've crashed and it all makes sense to me :P

After the first shave I placed second in a race (my first ever medal). I also had a new bike and the faster athletes must have been out of town.

When you reply to a thread (like you just did), there is an option just above the SUBMIT button - it reads "Attach a file after posting." Click on this, then Submit. You will then be prompted for the file name/location of the pic. I believe the picture size limit is 100k.

You guys are out of control.

Other than looking at your-self in the mirror or touching your-self are there any benefits?

Dave mentioned that the reason he shaves is because of all the bike crashes! I think that you might have a little more to worry about. Like how do I stop crashing

Can one of the boys give me a good reason other that to achieve that nice soft girly feeling

There is no real benefit, just mental.

Not a guy here but I'll give you a reason: they look lickable. I would think that's a huge benefit for a guy.

most of my crashes happen during mountain biking which at times crashes unavoidable :P

For what it's worth you dry off quicker with no hair on your legs if you're riding in the rain which I've been forced to do all month

Other than that shaving your legs is a symbol of your dedication to the sport, at least to the sport of cycling, don't know about tri in general.

Hello fellow Shavers (hhahaha)

For anyone who asks me "Why do you shave your legs?" my answer is always the same... 'Cuz it makes me faster only because I feel faster. The truth is, it is all mental and I need all the mental help I can get.

Has anyone tried that new "Veet" stuff?

Not worried about providing YOU a good reason, but I will tell you why I did.......don't know if it will make me faster....if so, great, but I doubt it.......don't know if it helps with road rash....not willing to crash to see......don't know if it helps/feels better during massages....damn sure hope so.....don't know if the ladies will like it better....damn sure hope so again, but not the reason I did it.  I guess the only reason I did it was to see if any or all of the above play true....if not, no biggie, heard all the talk and arguments back and forth, so decided to give it a try...if I like it, it will stay, if not....the hair will grow back!!!  So yes....it is true...I must fall into that "mental" category!

This thread is hilarious.

I shave my chest regularly, but haven't shaved lets/arms since High School swim team almost 10 years ago. My wife is always making fun of me. One of her co-workers is married to a personal trainer who nairs his whole body every week, now she's joking about getting me hooked on it.

I figure I'll try (almost) anything once. Been planning on shaving my legs for this race season anyway.

You'll be painting your toenails by the end of the week.

Bored so you shaved your legs? There wasn't anything else to do that could have occupied your time? I'm as anti-leg shaving as there is ... but guys should at least just come out and say "I've wanted to shave my legs for a long time, so I did" ... and stop with the half-baked excuses. I say that b/c I've been stuck inside on plenty of rainy days and never had the idea of "hey Ryan, shave your legs" pop into my head. =)

Yeah, that's it...because I shaved my legs, I must now paint the toenails and start wearing dresses..... 

I wonder if I change my avatar and hide behind a buff macho cartoon like yours, the guys will rethink giving me my "man card" back.......
