These are the days when I wish I had a degree in physics! I've been wondering a lot these days about aero advantage. I'm 6'2" and at 195 pounds I make quite the "sail" when cruising along the flat. I don't shave my arms, legs, or really anything other than my face. However, the people to blow past me usually have two things: 1.) matching cycling clothes, 2.) shaved appendages. I'll ignore them being 30 pounds lighter for the moment. And it got me thinking, what gives you a more aero advantage? Shaving those appendages or having an aero frame. I figure hair and a fat frame both have to induce drag.
So which provides more of an advantage/disadvantage?
