Hair removal for cyclists : why? |
Hair removal for cyclists has nothing to do with aerodynamics. Unlike swimming,
the drag of a few leg hairs blowing in the wind is negligible in cycling.
The main reason for a smooth shave is massage.
Daily massage works out the toxins, soothing seized muscles and increasing blood flow back to the heart.
Shaving's other primary plus is hygiene, notably after a crash. Cycling injuries require a lot of disinfecting.
So what about you? If you don't have a personal masseuse and you haven't crashed in years, should you still shave your legs?
Absolutely. At the end of the day, it also looks good. The muscles are more exposed and your legs look more developed.
So, remove that body hair, permanently or not:
