Buffalo Bill Try the Essex Road Race League.

Shaving is compulsory in the ERRL, but the hair is kept and distributed to the time-keepers who need a beard-weave to achieve the requisite facial hirsuteness.

some pros do shave their arms...I remember reading about Rob Hayles (I think) doing it for championships and Olympics and the like.....personally shaving legs is a statement "I am a serious racing cyclist" and as such I only shave my legs when i consider myself to be fit enough....which is often halfway through the season.

so you shave your legs to be taken 'seriously' ....LOL

Again, don't knock it til you've tried it.

I've actually been told by some birds from couples to get your nether regions done. It's meant to be great.
It breaks my rule of sharp objects near tackle though and my new rule of no hot waxy type objects near tackle.
'Course that has fsck all to do with road racing and it'd be pretty unnerving dropping kit with no pubes present.. :S

Actually.. this has given me another idea for one of the Death Race checkpoints.. the Gillette stop.. mwahahahahaha :D

Ok hippy one word this time.

epilate

NO NO NO NO NO

Even if it does shave 1 second off my 1km time NO

excuse the pun

rubbish it does not make you go any faster
and as to getting hair in your cuts what a bunch of bloody sissies
be honest you shave your legs
because it makes your Lycra look nicer

It DOES make you faster: http://damonrinard.com/aero/aerodynamics.htm
5 seconds over 40k could win you a race. I will then refer you to my original points:

1. To fit into the roadie group you have to shave down (though I never used to.. until a big race).
   
2. Your legs look sexy.

A mate of moine also has a theory on the phsycological side. He tells me that your legs tan faster when you have shaved them, so when you turn up to a race nad someone has tanned legs you think "man they must have been training loads! their legs are so tanned!"

So do I intimidate youz? :P

no you just turn me on!
