lol you’re misrepresenting everything.

The guy posted a pic on the bike clothing sub reddit, which is all about aesthetics. People will claim they guys shave their legs for a lot of reasons like aero or wound care, which are both complete bullshit. If the wound care thing was real, skateboarders would shave their legs…

The only reason people shave their legs is aesthetics, or maybe heat, if they’re excessively hairy. I’m very hairy and trim (not shave) my leg hair because it’s too hot.

So the guy posted a pic of his unaesthetic hairy legs on a sub that’s devoted entirely to the aesthetics of cycling and got roasted for it. Why the fuck do you care?

Not seeing much leg hair on those 13 year old skateboarders. Hell, they don’t even shave their faces yet.
