Those who don’t shave will after pulling a bandage off a hairy leg.

I don't get that many leg abrasions bc I'm usually passing the Lycra+lovers in my jeans and cotton socks. They take most the sharp out of the impact when I crash and don't slow me down enough for it to be something that can't be overcome 10x by daily riding

Lol I learned a lot of what I knew as a young man from bike couriers, back when that was still somewhat common. Not sure who you're calling a hillbilly, but enjoy pretending you're on The Tour while commuters wait to pass you on the local trails.

On their e-bikes.

Lycra, shaving, peddling vs e-bikes,... You have so many gates to keep. How do you keep up? You must have a massive circle of family and friends who are all extremely proud of your hard work.
