Does Howard Schultz Shave His Legs?

starbucks-howard-bike-alt-large.jpg

Embattled Starbucks CEO says in this new profile in Portfolio magazine that he's now a lean, mean cycling machine. He's dropped over 10 pounds and 10 percent of his body fat, he boasts. Clearly this is meant as a signal to both his employees and shareholders (whose stock price has certainly dropped more than 10 percent). Does getting up early for a morning ride along Lake Washington Blvd. make him a better executive? We have no idea. We're just too fascinated with the accompanying photo, above, and want to know the following: 1) is he shaving those legs like Lance Armstrong? And 2) what kind of expensive bike is that? And, 2-b) given the profit margin on a double-tall Americano, how many cups did we have to drink to buy it for him?
