Leg Shaving Advice For Cyclists

I love my bike. I ride it every day, and I take great pleasure from spinning down the road. I'm not a roadie, nor a mountain biker. I'm a bike commuter riding an old Trek road bike converted to a singlespeed.

When I found this amusing article on BikeRadar, I thought it was worth sharing:

As a cycling aficionado, you no are no doubt anxious to demonstrate your commitment to the sport, even when you are not on the bike.

"But how," I hear you ask, "can I show my absolute dedication to the cycling lifestyle, hopefully to the extent that my family, friends, and coworkers will begin to cast sidelong glances at me and eventually take me aside and tell me they're worried about the direction my life seems to be heading?"

The answer, it seems, is shaving your legs. Every other day.

"By shaving your legs, you are stating, unequivocally, that you are willing to spend an extra five minutes every other day with a razor, just so you can look like other cyclists."

And why would you need to shave your legs if you're a die-hard biker? You're just going to have to go read the whole article. It's a gas.
