I was so geeked out on everything about cycling that even though I didn't even own a road bike for the first five or six years of "my life as a mountain biker", I was totally down the euro road/cyclocross pro worship rabbit hole before I really had a chance. But I am pretty sure that leg shaving roughly coincided with my move to San Francisco and subsequent immersion into bike shop serfdom - I recall showing up for a ride with my old construction working friends from down the peninsula, and upon catching sight of my shaved pins, my buddy Dean arching an eyebrow and asking "so, how's life in _San Francisco_ _?_ "... with an exaggerated lisp.
