on top of this being a dam good reason...hair is gross would be my number 1 reason. Busting out a razor and cream is a bit over the top....balding clipper works just fine! I dont buy the road rash unless you are a sasquatch and it gets matted in the scab.

Hair on the head, eyebrows and lashes is suffice for both male and female. and if you arent gonna shave it...at least shampoo it!

Just read this at work (a preschool) and had to leave the office trying to not bust up.

I would agree shaving your legs is good for really only two reasons, injuries and massages. I on the other hand have hair nearly torn from my legs when I get massages, but I think it would look funny if I shaved my legs and I have a hair everywhere else, and not just a few sprouts of hair on my chest but a F-ing field of it and a trail on my stomach. someone might think I'm a genetic F-up. HA HA

Wow, you make road riding sound so cool.

I rode in group road rides for years, never shaved my legs and was never shunned.
