I am back in the saddle after a weak 2008 season. I've been wearing bib knickers and been happy, but now that I'm in shorts, a quick glance down reveals woolly mammoth legs (damn German blood). I am not usually one to follow the crowd. I shaved my legs in the past. Now, I'm wavering. I know I carry at least 2 mph more speed with shaved legs, but I don't want to be a conformist. I ride a 22+ lb Torelli steel bike with quill stem and 32 spoke wheels, so I am obviously not looking for style points.
What you riders doing? I can hold out for another month to get my tan blinged out, and then out comes the hair trimmer and shaver.
To those who aren't riders, keep the comments out of the sewer, or I will break out my gross spandex pics.
