Probably a lot of people on this board are following the tour.

Two main reasons to shave -

Massage is easier.

Wounds (cuts/abrasions/road rash/etc) are easier to treat/clean so healing
is faster.

I suppose I should already have some self answer to this question,
anyone following the Tour de France?

Why is it that many of the riders have their legs shaved, and please do
not refer me to the NASCAR commercial with Tony Stewart. Other than
wind drag, I will need some other basis for shaving, I am open.

Have a good one.
