Great first post! I hope you don't mind an opinion from one of those "nancy boys".lol
You can safely tell your boyfriend that shaving his legs WON'T make him appear gay. The term is "metrosexual": a straight man who cares about his appearance and doesn't mind taking the time to make sure he looks good. You can cite David Beckham, a british soccer player, who is very butch and I believe marrying a supermodel or something.
If having an excuse to shave might make a difference, you could save the expense of the bike, and just have him tell people he is a swimmer. They shave EVERYTHING- arms, legs,chest, etc.
One last thing, as a gay man, I LOVE hairy guys- the more fur the better. There are quite a few of us who feel this way. So while some gay guys may shave, it-by itself-is not enough to identify as one of us(lol).
