Skintight clothing serves a very functional purpose.

Yes, it cuts through the wind. That's why you aren't a serious biker unless you shave your legs too. As leg hair can actually cause a drag against the wind and slow you down.

So shave your legs for maximum cutting edge speed......

And if you take hormones and grow breasts, it makes your chest more aerodynamic.

I do shave my legs and I'm not embarrassed to admit that. Much better for massage. At the level I'm competing at and pushing myself, massage is most helpful for recovery. Also easier to clean the road rash when accidents do happen. Just so you know I'm a 5 time finisher of the Hawaii Ironman and 5 time finisher of the Boston Marathon.
