I'm keeping the leg fur knocked down with clippers. Will go back to the blades next time we get two 60 degree days back to back.

Why do people shave their legs in the first place ? I don't think there is any performance advantage and if so I'm still in no way going to shave my legs. BTW I'm a male

Kind of kinky. My wife loves my legs when shaved. Heightens the skin on skin feel. Really the main reason for the pros is to make massages easier, the oil is more effective when shaved. Like putting sunscreen on hairy legs versus shaven face. Also easier to remove tape when injured. No speed enhancement.

Yeah, if you ride all winter, you are going to get massages all winter, so you need to maintain the legs the same as summer. I guess the guys that sit around and get fat don't need to bother.
