Hittade lite om rakning av ben:
* Road Rash: less painful when sliding on pavement during a crash (similar to carpet burn)
* Aerodynamics: less wind resistance
* Sanitation: hairs hold dirt and debris that can get into wounds; hairs also make changing bandages more difficult
* Massage: easier for a masseuse to work muscles
* Aesthetics: more muscle definition, smoother and faster look
Sen "slimmades" detta ner något då Aerodynamics blev degraderat till "placebo" (ska dock inte underskattas). Alltså 4 "riktiga" kvar:
* Road Rash
* Sanitation
* Massage
* Aesthetics
Uppfyller man ingen av dessa punkter slipper man att raka benen som jag ser det.
* Road Rash - Ramlar aldrig, feg och förskiktig på cykeln.
* Sanitation - Behövs inte då man inte råkar ut för ovanstående.
* Massage - Får aldrig massage efter cykling.
* Aesthetics - Ständigt odefinerade muskler.
Om man nu inte uppfyller kraven ovan kan man bli en "poser" om så önskas. En "poser" beskrivning följer här:
Person that rolls up with shaved legs, his new Madone 5.9, Full all out Campy or DA 10, and doesnt ride because of a "back problem" or his bike is making a "noise" or he has to meet someone about something and cant ride" but would rather hang out and wait for the group, then go have a few beers. Then you see him the next afternoon and he says "man, I had a killer 70 miler this morning" you say "really?" hes like yea, you say "you ride alone" hes like "yea, couldn't find anyone to ride with". Bike still new with the tits on the tires and chain is glistening.
