Do you shave your legs?
No. I don't understand why guys (Who are not in sports) shave anything but their pubes, face, or back. Thankfully I do not have back hair.
I would never shave below the neck unless it was for a medical reason or if I was, like, an elite biker or something. As far as I'm concerned anything you do to make yourself look pretty beyond keeping clean, shaving your face and/or head, combing your hair and wearing nice clothes is for women.
i hate shaving my face enough as it is (which currently having no job is a god send cause i don't have to!) so my legs will remain hairy.
No, but I do shave my balls on a regular basis. And let me just say, if you don't shave your crown jewels, do so and then run around and/or go sit in some body of water and tell me that shit doesn't feel fucking amazing
I shaved my legs once before. It really wasn't worth it. Once the stubble started coming it they really itched, like crazy itched. Plus they came back even hairier. I don't know how women can stand it, it really just seems like a lot of work. Not that I'm complaining that women shave their legs, it's just I sympathize.

As a amateur bicyclist you don't do it for wind resistance, but in case if you crash and have to bandage up or treat any leg wounds. It's a lot less painful if you don't have hair on your legs. Like...by a lot.
Also bike pants.
I tried it once when I was swimming as a teenager, but it was so fucking annoying to keep up that I need bothered.
I do shave my pits and pubes, however, and have been doing the former since I was about 14 and never regretted it, and the latter since I was 18 and have also not regretted it (seriously, it's awesome).
That's not really the main reason. Bikers shave because if they fall and scrape their legs, the hairs will help pull off skin, making the damage is far worse than if they're hairless. Swimmers do it because shaving gets off a ton of dead skin in addition to the hairs. This makes them much more sensitive to the touch of the water, which makes them feel more invigorated.@cclemon36 said:

Nope, I'm an average male that doesn't need to. I don't see anything wrong with it, but I cannot understand tolerating the discomfort of sensitive skin, short/stubby hair, and believe it or not the warmth it provides.

Wait. You don't shave anywhere below the neck? anywhere?
That's rather... unfresh.
Nope, but I do keep my reproductive tool region well trimmed, as well as my armpits. I don't have a lot of hair on my legs in the first place though, but I think if I was crazy hairy I would at least trim it as well.

It shaves a few seconds off their time.
I'm sorry.
Nope, no reason to shave my legs... or any other part of me body for that matter, I do keep my hair and beard short though - as it has a tendency to get annoying and get in the way when it gets longer.
I had it done once, was drunk and at a party and two girls who were also there thought it would be funny to do it so I said ok and they did it.
Other than that one time, no I don't.
