Cyclists - shave your legs

[Mich the Tester]

When I was a teenager I came off my push bike while bombing down a hill in Southern Italy, and slid along the road for a few feet.

With the friction, and the baking heat of the road, a full box of matches in my jeans pocket (a small pocket right round the front, rather than a side pocket) burst into flames and practically exploded.

Now that's pain!

MTFU!

Not so sure about genital shaving though. Can get quite painful on long rides.

Flip me, I know some cyclists are dead keen, but shaving your genitals off seems a bit extreme.

Mind you, I can see how it would make a guy slightly more aerodynamic, and every second counts.

Shaving ones undercarriage gives to closer fit to the seat, crucial in competition.
It's the job of the secreatary of the club to inspect the seats closely

'especially the ladies team. And that your honour , is my defence. '

I think you're supposed to shave before you set off, not while cycling.

Wouldn't be easier just to slap on a load of Immac before setting off?

Waxing is the key
