For the record, I do not shave my legs, but why do some cyclists shave their legs, arms, or their whole body?

Here are some valid reasons to shave your body in my opinion...

1. It is easier to clean up cuts, rashes and other wounds.
2. It is easier to apply and remove sunscreen.
3. It is easier to clean off dirt, bugs, and other things.

Here are some not so valid reasons to shave your body in my opinion...

1. Everybody else does it.
2. It makes you more aerodynamic and shaves a few more grams.
3. You will sweat and smell less - true but you can trim hair and achieve about the same result.
