Should I shave my legs for the 2009 Seattle to Portland bike ride?

[what to call myself?]

I'm 19 so it's kind of like - To do or NOT to do?? Haha. Problem is I have REALLY hairy legs, so idk. Sometimes it's just a cyclist thing, for looks/help with first aid.

If you're a girl, pls shave your legs.

If you're a dude, yes, go ahead and shave your legs so your domestic partner can thank you.

are you racing?

or do you just -want- to look like a doofus?

you think shaved legs on a guy, won;t look weirder than hairy legs?

what about 5:00 shadow?

are you going to reshave every day?

dude..

Shave your entire body and paste Llama hair on the parts that look just too bald.

You're considering shaving your legs for one bike ride? If you have a partner, ask him/her for their opinion. Unless your hair is so long that it might become entangled in the spokes of your wheel or so bushy that small animals might become trapped in the hair, it won't make a difference.

I have hairy legs that have never been shaved in 40 years of road riding.

Only because I didn't want to. I never asked. You don't have to ask.

Shave if you like. No one will notice either way.

 

[~CURIOUS~]

yes plain and simple

Really won't matter, one way or the other. That's a big group ride I guess, and it'll be a mixed bag as far as legs go, least for the men.

Thought: If you're more of a casual rider, then don't shave. If more of a racing dude, then shave.

Or, just toss a coin to decide.
