It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Professional cyclist shave their legs for two reasons:

  1. They crash frequently and scabs in leg hair can be a problem for healing

  2. All riders get post race massage, and his is better done without pulling on leg hairs.

Dentists do this because they are posers.

If Fred wants to shave his legs, that's Fred's business. It makes him feel faster on his $15,000 road bike.

Record scratch

Uh...okay. Sure....?

Edit: I'm hoping/realizing this is a typo or autocorrect thing, and not another sign that I am no longer "with it" and "hip to what is up", as I'm sure they're still saying.

I'm going to leave my response though, so you can all enjoy my confusion.

Thought for sure it would be that hairs in the bike chain hurts like a bitch, but apparently that's not on the list.
