You spelled chains wrong.

Otherwise, in an endurance sport.........the unobstructed view of chiseled muscle and throbbing veins/arteries can be intimidating. Intimidation is part of sport. And in sport, there is often also imitation.

Let's be honest, you can do it if you like. But if your shaved legs look more like amateur hour at the sausage factory......probably not time to shave yet.

Now, if your legs look like a thoroughbred horse's after winning the derby........go for it. The group ride will wither and fade from your attacks as they watch your dancing thoroughbred legs disappear in the distance.
