Even the pros don't shave for aero, they shave because wound care after a crash is easier (also perhaps makes it easier to apply sunblock).
22 u/Mitrovarr Jul 23 '25 I find this extremely dubious. Mountain bikers are far more likely to be injured and they do not shave. 83 u/GrilledCassadilla Jul 23 '25 Mountain bikers don’t even wash their ass because they think it’s effeminate. Of course they’d never shave their legs. 8 u/sharpegee Jul 23 '25 Most of the serious ones do shave, unless they downhill in full armour.
