Why Do Some Cyclists Shave Their Legs?
I would like to address the important question why some cyclists shave
their legs (but not their arms or head). This has been vigorously
discussed to death on various lists and newsgroups. The conclusion is
that there are three reasons:
1. The official one: it significantly reduces air drag by a factor X,
where X is very, very close to 1.
2. In case of a crash, no hairs will need to be shaved from the wound site.
3. Elitism. That guy with the hairy legs is obviously an amateur who
cannot be taken seriously. This is my favorite.
