Many people think it’s funny when cyclists shave their legs, but there are several reasons for that. One of them is, actually, aesthetical because legs look much better and attractive and each muscle can be observed when they’re shaven. Although I’m a female I like it very much. Clean shaven body is always more attractive. Cyclists shave their legs for sanitary reasons also, because scratches and injuries are more easily treated when there are no hairs, and the chance of an infection is less. Some say that top cyclists shave their legs in order to improve their performance, because they move more smoothly through the air. I don’t know about that, and even it’s so, the acceleration is in milliseconds and it’s not important to you because you’re a recreational cyclist. You can try shaving your legs and see of you like it. If not, grow your hairs again.

I am not going to laugh but I think there is no need to do that. You do something if you want, not because of the others. If you want to shave legs, shave it, but will that improve your cycling? Not much.
