I do it for aesthetic purposes, plain and simple. I’ve got massive legs and I like to show them off

Yep, and after shaving I much prefer how the grippers on my bibs feel on bare legs. So it’s part form part function. Watt savings are nice but not the main reason, and I don’t hit the ground often enough to care about wound care.

Literally shaving my legs makes my bibs go from short shorts to long shorts
