Ok, bad title (sorry mom!)… Yes, it’s true, Kyle and I both shaved our legs with a few of the other guys on the trip.
Why? ‘Because of aerodynamics’?! No way Jose, we did it for safety. Past Bike and Builders have said, “it’s not if you’ll fall, it’s when… Everyone falls when you’re on a bike for 73 days in bad weather, poorly paved roads and avoiding traffic”. For all the guys out there with hairy legs, this can mean infections and longer healing times for the scrapes and cuts you’re bound to take.
Kyle and I thought we’d get ahead of our falls (still none yet for either of us – cross your fingers!)… We might have taken it too far…

I took creative liberty and went for the striped left leg look for the time being (full body shot below)…

Shaved legs… Are you man enough?
Jacob and Kyle
