Yes...and my arms. I prefer the "clean" feeling of being hairless. Plus the masseuse can provide a better massage.

No because i'm a naturally hairy guy and shaving every other day is annoying. Plus (dont kill me for this) I feel like people who don't race just do it to show off/fit in with their friends. Not a good reason do anything imo.

I dont shave either. And while I agree that prefer the clean look and feel my legs are not naturally very hairy and neither are my arms or even pits. But if I did feel the need to be completely hairless I think I would rather wax; it lasts longer.
O and one thing I noticed that cracks me up. A roady with shaved arms and legs but an open jersey full of taco meat. HOW DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE?!

My face and some day maybe my head but not my legs. I don't see what benefit I would get from doing it.

no. hair on my legs (and arms) isn't keeping me from enjoying my rides. I'm not a racer, but even if I was I couldn't see myself doing it

I've shaved before, but usually I just knock it down with clippers (no guard) and call that good enough.

(though I may feel a little good when I pass someone with shaved legs, repressing all the thoughts they are clearly on a recovery ride, or they are stuck in a slow gear, or what have you...)
