There are two reasons to shave your legs (non-style related):
dealing with road rash and other crash injuries (as stated above)
easier to massage (post ride/race recovery)
The speed thing is bunk. A top level racer might see a fraction of a mph aero advantage. As for chicks digging it, I've know ones who did and others who didn't. I used to shave when I was racing road and mtn for the above mentioned reasons. I've picked many a rock/dirt out of wounds and scrubbed with betadine as well followed by bandages. All much easier without leg hair.
