why shave your legs?

I discovered a new reason that cyclists should shave their legs yesterday. Unfortunately, I learned it the hard way. The traditional reasons are 1) its easier to clean up after a crash and 2) its easier to get a massage. Well, I don't race so (hopefully) don't crash and I certainly don't get massages. So I don't shave my legs these days. But today I learned my lesson. While descending Ellet a bumblebee landed on my knee, held onto my leg hair, and stung me. So consider bee protection next time you debate whether to shave your legs.
