To pee or NOT to pee?

[Mumbles]

Again today this one buggered me on the way home.
5 mins into your ride and you now need to pee . What do you do? What do you do?
Pull over at next convenience? Or try to hold it in, your only 5-10 mins short of your destination.
Which begs to ask ...
When busting to go for a pee how does this affect the rational side of the human brain (some of you out there won’t have a rational side )
That copper wont mind if I “just” slip past him on the inside will he?
Just speed up a little more here… and there… yes tones of room…. Blind corner? (but I’m not blind)…god I got to pee… it hurts…. Nothing else matters….

Just done some stupid stuff when busting to go and nothing else matters…
I’m I here all alone on this or are there others out there like me?

sorry where did that noise come from?

Pee - it keeps you warm.
.....
oh you mean stop and pee......

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Stop and Peee. If you have an off you could do some serious damage to the bladder. I believe it is unhealthy to burst it so stop and empty it. Then again I am sure you are going to drag an old thread out of here on some disgusting "peeee while you ride" devices.

The Wanaka maze is easier than: unzipping fly, pull down water-proof leggings,pull up T-shirt, pull down 'long-johns', drop jocks, find wilted wizzer, piss on the ground (with a bit of luck) then reverse procedure.

Wear adult diapers, that should sort the problem.

What, You can't hold off a Pee for 10 minutes??

You need to get that looked at!

Solution - catheter exiting beside your boot. (don't let it get on the rear tyre though)

Always empty before I depart or make a short detour if on the way. A 10min ride can easily turn into 30min if there's trouble ahead. It also distracts from riding safely because your mind is on other things.

god bless my dependz

Probably not a problem many Jafas encounter, but the worst situation is when you really need to pee and the temperature is subzero. It's too bloody cold to stop but every slight jostle of your bladder against the cold tank is torture.

Ah, biking in northern Europe...

Just pee wherever, whenever you need to - like mutisport athletes. Multisporters tend not to stop for much. My mate Tim, who has competed in the Colorado Extreme, Coast to Coast, amonst other grueling adventure races tells of how, when he finished the Colorado race he collasped from exhaustion and was whisked off to hospital. Once there, they had to wash him down in an antiseptic bath to get the 5 1/2 days of crap off his legs! The worst part was the nurse who was cleaning him was really nice (model type nice apparently) and Tim was getting rather .... excited... not good for picking up nurses.
Or you could just go before you go.

ok - I gotta know... why do I have to miss the tyre...?

[heavenly.talker]

I don't know what it is either...I'm a good girl scout and go before I go but about 10-15 mins into a ride I normally have to make a pit stop! and then again 30 mins later (give or take). Me I just stop...hubby and friends are used to it :-)

One thing that always is yukky though is I often feel the urge on the road between Helensville and Kuemu. The closest conveinence is a gas station by the turn off for Murawai Beach. It has to have the most revolting loo that I have ever seen! So try and not go there!

Our mate has just brought a fully armoured one piece leather suit that has a zip that can be run from the top and botto.

Men have it so good compared to woman when it comes to this!
