One thing about living in an urban setting..Few shrubbies are large enough to hide out in...Live away from it all...I find myself developing my favorite p spots... Here in the desert water is scare.Not sure of my motivation..Maybe I think the shrub is priviliged....but...In the city..Think my favorite answer is peeing on tire..I like that...
But, here abouts...No need to.****enty of parks if you just know where they are...
On my tour of the outback of Nevada...The gals had a real problem..No shrubs.No trees..Just small, medium , and large size rocks..Modesty there was difficult..

Man, I'd vote for the car, but you gotta pee on the driver's side door handle.
You left out alleys, too.

I usually that care of this particular problem before leaving work but occasionally forget. When I forget I'm in big trouble. I ride through many residential neighborhoods and "going" in someone's front yard isn't kosher, so I ride like **** to get home.

Didn't you mom harp on you to go before you leave? I always go at work right before I head home and at home right before I head to work. Never had the issue.

Underneath roads that go over washes seems to be a good choice where I commute. As long as there are no homeless people down there at the time.

I must say that the most-frequent complaint I hear from people who have property abutting the trail is "cyclists sneaking into my woods to urinate."
I.E., Don't think you're going unnoticed.
It gets worse in the winter: I've seen X-country ski tracks suddenly stop and form odd patterns, with a bunch of yellow snow in the center. It's rather off-putting...
I just ride fast and get home!

Ever pee off your bike *while* riding. I've done this many times at night. Most gratifying.

i love being able to whip it out and go in public....
bushes, tree, it don't matter, when you gotta go, you gotta go!
i feel bad for ladies who cannot so easily whip it out and pee anywhere.
you wanna stop and stare i might just give you a little penis wave in appreciation

You guys are really gross.
I'll wait all day if I have to and use the toilet like a civilized person. I'll only use the outdoors if I'm in actual wilderness, and then I'll practice good Leave No Trace ethics.

How does that work with the Big pro tours..People everywhere. Go in public you are fined last I knew..Probably like football players, just take a leak in your chamois..That would get mushy after 100 miles.
You spend lots of time taking a leak, you are losing precious seconds.

This morning, I saw another cyclist sniff the shrub I peed last night, lift his leg, and pee in the same spot.

Hey this poll only allows one answer... I use multiple methods. Such as using the local park restrooms/beach restrooms, finding construction outhouses, then the gas station/market thing, and last... sigh, along a trail.
Sometimes coffee and exercise just don't mix.

"Number 2" is a different story, there ARE LNT ethics regarding that.
