Unless I'm racing for money and have a good chance of winning, there is no way I'm shaving.  I just don't get it and certainly don't have time to do it.  Also, I believe trainingpeaks blog had a study on how minimal shaving helps performance (if any).  The gain would have to be +5mph average for me to shave.

Embrace your inner woman and shave, man...Do It..Now!. It won't make your faster and your leg veins probably won't stick out like Crowie's but hey, we're not professional. We race for fun!!!

The ease of applying sunscreen is reason enough.

Let me just say that when I got smashed by a car and went to the Hospital, the nurse just gave me a quick wipe and my wounds were clean. Otherwise she would have been scrubbing for days. That is the sole purpose I shave and it was worth it.

As far as technique goes, you would burn through $50 bucks in razors by the time you got done shaving versus buying a cheap set of clippers at Rite Aid and shaving after to even it all out.

Dont forget to moisturize Cool

Really? Wow! I had no idea. That is brilliant!

Yes, of course, I know that, smart guy. And I use the spray mostly except on my face. If you're harry enough, the spray just makes a nasty, sticky mess and still doesn't cover totally. As someone who is at risk for skin cancer, I'll stick with my method. You can do as you wish.

LOL! Indeed. It means something different in my case, but that's funny.

X2 with Razortri. I personally won't use the sprays- the not supposes to get inside you. Good sunscreen, that is normally tougher to put on, is much easier without hair. Already been in for one basal cell tumor

The opposite of hairy is pretty?

I know some women who dig a beard on a guy. I've even met some that say things about a hairy chest. Before i read above where someone said their husband would sleep on the couch with shaved legs, I'd never heard any woman say anything about a guy's sexy hairy legs. that, and armpits.

Summary:
I've never heard a woman say "i really like my man with some 6 inch armpit hairs that are all pasted down with deodorant and sweat" or "Ohhh, I like my man to have hair that i can run my fingers through...on his legs."

Shaving helps with flip turns while wearing an aero helmet, but ONLY if you can average 20mph.

I dont not shave so that women will like me. It has nothing to do with looking good for people. Grooming oneself in order to be found attractive is a womanly thing to do. I would call that prettying oneself up.

You don't groom yourself for anything more than function? We live in two different worlds. I have to look nice for work and for church and because maintaining some sort of attractiveness is the least I can do for my wife. I'm not talking about shaving here, just grooming.

Don't be silly. This ain't a fight. I just don't understand where he is coming from and I find it a such a different viewpoint from my own that I'd like to "get it" a little better. I'm feeling he probably doesn't understand me, either.

unless you see me working out or on race day you will not see my legs. I tend to NOT wear shorts even when it's pretty danged hot out. That's what makes me wonder why people think it's vanity.

I think it's because a lot of men admit that they shave for vanity.

On work days I do keep my beard trimmed where it starts growing on my neck. I suppose now that I'm thinking about it, I'd have to say I make grooming decisions based on what will require the least amount of attention or energy. I want never to have to bother. I'm not someone who would be described as "hairy" though.
