Lets be clear...the number one reason to shave your legs as a roadie is vanity. You look goofy in lycra with sasquatch legs. And, if you are a serious racers, you probably have ripped legs you don't really want hidden under a layer of fur.
The road rash....shaving helps there with the wound and healing. If you're a pro, regular massage is more effective without the hair (so 0.004% of riders)
