General Cycling Discussion - Weird questiona bout wearing bib shorts for guys

These types of shorts are SOOO much more comfie, but after trying my first pair this weekend, I gotta ask, how the heck do you PEE? I had to take off my shirt, pull the straps off, and was practically naked before I could take care of nature's call.

We need bib shorts with zippers!

Ride in yer jocks mate. Either that or do the old elastic band, hot water bottle and pipe trick. Either way you'll get some weird looks.

I usually just pulled the leg up to my crotch and accessed the equipment that way.

I wear an under armour shirt under the straps so when I take a pee it doesn't look like im nekkid.

The under armour also wicks away sweat too!

Keep your jersey on. Pull up the bottom of the jersey. Pull down the front part of the bib below your thing. The straps stretch enough and strong enough not to break.
While back somebody post a photo of road racers peeing road side during the race. The photo was showing only their backs but it's obvious what they were doing. None of them were taking off anything.

You don't have to sit to pee.

must be nice to be hung like a horse :)

ya. how the crap do you get it through the leg like that?

why don't ya just wear the strap on the outside?

Yeah, as a member of the International Half Size Club, many of us are left wondering about things such as that. I follow up on every advertisment I receive in my email about penis enlargers. One day I'll be able to say "Water's cold ain't it".
:D

I think everyone wears base layers under the straps, but you can't wear a jersey underneath.

...and it's deep, too! :)

Y'know, if I could whip it out of the bottom in my shorts I'd never bother to ride. I'd just sit in the bar in my bike shorts showing off my bulge and licking my eyebrows.

I don't wear a base layer under my bib. I live in Texas. If you've never been here, it's hot. :)

:o Yeah, I want to say that too but I'll build up to it I think. In the meantime I've got another six penis enlargers to unpack. back soon.

I just reach in and hook the edge of the bibs with my thumb. Then pull down while bending over slightly and reaching in with the other hand gropping for the "lower" thumb which I extend over the edge of my bibs and drain. I follow the reverse procedure to pack it all away. :D

I can pull down the front of my Pearl Izumi Microsensor bibs far enough to get the monster out!

I've done the pull up the leg thing, but it was a lot easier to follow the advice of some of the above posters and pull down on the front of the shorts while bending over a little.

I tend to drink way too much water when I ride, so I've had lots of practice.

What about the inevitable afterdrip?

now this is the real problem.

You've got to shake it enough to dry it off, but not so much that you're just playing with yourself.

Why not?!

Why not?!

It'll throw off your cadence for a while. ;)

I have a separate bandana I tuck in there afterwards for a little while..gross, but not as gross as not doing it.

Thanks to this thread, I will not hear the Hokey Pokey the same again.

My cadence in life is thrown off by not taking care of matters!!

apparently for some of us, sheer penile weight does that anyhow.

I think I'll get off the bike and head for the bushes. When you've only got 2cm of spewing fury, you're likely to end up covered in wee anyway.

Much better to get off I think. :D

I know I started this mess, but after all the suggestions, I just think I'll hold it all day..:)

Just make sure you don't have a snake handler behind you when you indicate your turn. Could be damned embarrasing. :D :D :D

This has to be the funnest thread(s) I have ever read. I nearly wet my pants!

Actually, I'm reminded of a magazine like Sports Illustrated. I remember seeing a pic in their "odd photos" or whatever at the time. Bunch of guys... a peloton I think you guys call 'em. Anyway, one bloke has his slug out and watering the horses and everyone else. Damned funny pic.

That'll make you blind.

FYI the best ride I did at HHH was wearing a base layer (mesh) much cooler than
without.

Boy did this thread get out of hand!

One solution wear the bibs under your jersey. Drop the straps off the shoulders and let them fall to your elbows. Then you can pull the front down sufficient to do #1 (almost) naturally. Jump up and down to take care of drips. I can't help you with #2. so please don't ask.

<snicker.

You wear the straps over your shirt??
LOL

No. I don't wear straps over the shirt. I wear them under. I reach under the shirt and pull the straps over my shoulders. They will drop down to the elbow and be trapped there by the shirt. (Ladies, you know what I am talking about) :(

Giordana bibs. They're low up front, and really stretchy.

pfft don't worry about the drip unless your bib shorts are light pink or white or sumthing, can't nobody see the drip and if they do you've got you're package to close to their face which just ain't nice (unless requested)

just as they say, pull up your jersey, pull down the front of the bib short, and take out your ducky, and bend forward a little and you can go pee, nothing to it, its not a rocket science to do it

why the bloody hell not?

I think everyone wears base layers under the straps...
I don't. Unless you count body hair.
