Peoples . . . While this has been a very fun discussion, there is some pretty good data here that THIS IS FREE SPEED!!!! REALLY!!! As in you don't have to buy any expensive toys - you just have to shave your legs dammit!
And I can speak for alot of the womens - we do think shaved legs are sexy!!!! Plus you are now on to our dirty little secret as to why so many of you get chicked . . .
I look forward to passing you dudes with hairy legs on the bike!
So just shave your legs dammit!
I've consistently been in the top 1-2% of any field for bike splits, and I have never, ever shaved my legs.
So - apparently the only thing standing between me and TOTAL DOMINATION, is shaving my legs?
Somehow, I'm not buying that.
Disclaimers - since '08 or so, I've been wearng calf sleeves for most races, as I have semi-chronic calf running issues.
I'm probably a 6 on the Chewbacca scale, so maybe those larger gains are only for those on the Robin Williams end of the Wookie spectrum?
(perhaps, not unlike how wearing a wetsuit works better for truly awful swimmers - like me - vs. much less benefit to talented swimmers)
float , hammer , and jog
