to start, im a hairy dude. my arms and legs are not covered in carpet, but its pretty serious.

question for you guys, do those of you with hairy arms, and everything else shave your legs or just leave it be?

also, if you shave, why?

BEAR LEGS. Also I crash all the time playing polo and almost always have road rash on my knees and elbows and shit. Doesn't mean you'll ever see me shaving my legs.

Bear legs. My hair DOES make my calves an inch bigger.

I'm 125lbs.... if I shave legs, they'll just look girly. No matter how much I ride/train, they just get definition, but not volume.
Yes, I am pretty hairy, but I'll take that over femine. Also, I'm low maintenance.

bear body.

if you feel the need, trim that shit down a bit with some clippers. i do that sometimes when arm/chest hair gets long...like an inch or so.

don't use a razor. keep your manhood.

or just ride in jeans a lot. that trims my hair for me, like a goat on a nice parcel of land.

Bear legs for damn sure. I think all the scars on my shins and knees would look weird if I shaved my legs.

i use clippers. it's fast and makes me more comfortable for life in general, not necessarily for riding. My legs are very hairy and trimming the hair is just better. Number 1 as well, zero makes it all prickly by the 2nd day.

shaved cuz it just looks better with bib shorts. You can't ride a look with hairy legs.

also feels good with tight pants/in sheets/etc.

definitely recommend.

i keep it trimmed up though, number 2 manscape.
i wear these crocs galoshes at work, usually wear cycling knickers too. the boots rub the hair off about a 1/4 of the way up, so i have these big bald patches. trimming keeps it looking ok and not freakish.

this almost sounds like a username post.

bear legs. i used to shave my legs. actually, that's when i stopped shaving my face. just got fed up with all the shaving.

there's no practical reason for it, though. unless you're racing and crashing a lot, as stated. it does look good, though, you can see all the muscles better.

Pretty much this. This past spring semester and most of this summer because I've been flying so much (and not riding grrrrr) I haven't shaved my legs. Like the first time in 10 years.

Another good reason is if you're doing mtb or cross and are getting all muddy. When the dirt clings to the hairs dingleberry style... sometimes you can feel it tug and pull. It's just easier to clean up after a race/ride with shaved legs.
