RTL - Shaved legs?

Maybe I will half commit and only shave one leg, or shave from my ankle
to halfway up my shin.

I am not about to let my 17 years of growing my manley leg hair go to
waste now! although, I do wish my leg hair wasnt so thick, maybe it
just needs a trim, instead of a shave...

Any bike racers in here? So far we have about five different reasons for
shaved legs. My understanding was it was to keep from getting hairs in
your road rash. More chances of infection and harder (more painful) to
clean the wounds. I agree this leaves your arms still hairy, but I
guess legs get more road rash and/or arms aren't "cool" to shave in the
bicycling world.

As for me, I grew facial hair specifically for the race, and for my
legs, I plan to wear leg armor for the Criterium race and otherwise
have minimal crashes during RTL.

Remove hair from legs, yes. But I have found that a completely
hairless taint can increase saddle comfort and make riding long
distances on unicycle much more fun and I dare say, faster. And, no .
shaving doesn't work down there with all the nooks and crannys. Any
of you RTL riders going to the wax spa before the race??

Riding is more comfotable with shaved legs and makes wounds less messy
and awful to clean.
Plus it makes you look damn sexy and not-gorilla-esque

That's what I've heard.

Or you could do like my friend Brian did and shave a checkerboard into
your legs ha ha.

It was sort of like this:

except in his leg hair.
