Best Answer

There's a lot of myths about why cyclists shave, from that abrasions from a fall would hurt less on shaved skin to that it gives the rider an aerodynamic edge. Aerodynamic advantage is principially true, but the net effect is amazingly minor. The "real" reason is much more earthbound. Cyclists doesn't haveto shave anything, but for team riders who gets regular massages smooth legs are more comfortable. During early/late season some riders use a warming balm/ointment on their legs, which also goes on and off smoother on shaved skin.

Does Miley Cyrus shave her arms?

Hi! The answer to this question is "no" Miley Cyrus does not, shave her arms, however she does shave her arm pits. You would know this if you watched "The Last Song", while I was watching the movie, she was doing a scene where she was playing the piano, for a minute you could see fuzz (hair) on her arms when they did a "close-up" on her hands/arms. I hope this answers your question!
