Some people insist on falling off their bikes and getting minor scrapes. They think repairs are easier done if there is no hair in the way.fireman7875 said:Serious question: why shave?
I consider myself a serious cyclist but I have never understood shaving...for men, that is. Is there truly some sort of benefit that I haven't discovered or is it a matter of tradition that harkens back to a time when racers believed shaving gave them an aerodynamic advantage? I realize that when I show up to a race or even a lot of organized rides, I am the oddball. I'm not condemning; I really want to know why so many people shave.
