You Have to Try Everything Once... Don't You?

Is that an offer?

NO! So no.

Fine, but speaking from experience a pair of cycling bottom soon let the skin show through when sliding down the tarmac. Not forgetting it also allows for a better massage.

This is not MotoGP and speeds are not that high. You tend to roll, not slide. And even crashing at 37mph, I only rolled once or twice, never slid. I got the road burns from the initial impact, no real sliding involved.

This is a brilliant review that has me crying with laughter every time I read it.

Brilliant, that's brightened up my evening at work no end. :-)

Every off is not the same, I have no problem that you put your faith in your acrobatic ability, but I have found tha sometimes I do get road rash when sliding off. Mind you I do not know what speed I come off at because I do not look down and check when the off happens, must remember to check the 510 next time.

I have never rolled myself only planted but I always check strava to see the speed that I hit the deck , think big bag of tatties being dropped out upstairs window

My team mate was in the chasing group about 50yds behind and he clocked us at 37. This was in the days before GPS. It only takes a split second to get a friction burn - no need to 'slide'..

Whether you splat, slide, roll or do an aerial back flip... I think the point is it still bl**dy hurts and the chances are you will get some degree of road rash.

Pointless unless you are racing. Doubly pointless in the winter, when your legs are covered anyway.

leg warmers are more grippy on shaved legs.

I've given up shaving mine; I had to keep adjusting myself this morning.

I've always had problems with leg grippers not gripping, which from a previous thread it was pointed out that the hairy legs could be the cause.

It only happens badly with one of my shorts/ leg warmer combinations. I might just shave the inch or so where the leg grippers would go. More likely I'll go with tights.

Leg warmers under the shorts has stopped mine slipping down. They're double gripped.

From what I've read about wax, not only is it messy but unless you get it done right it you end up with all sorts of problems on the re-growth and/or skin issues?

Get it done professionally. If you shave it will possibly itch like an itchy thing!

I think I probably should of added a category of "Yes - But only because it will be funny" to the poll.

Anyway, I think I will go down to the shops on Monday, let you know how it goes on Tuesday (pictures?) and possibly cry until Wednesday.
