Having lived in cold and hot climates it is just a quickie stop off the roadside. So if fellow cyclist won't wait, then give chase . . .
In the cold, if there is snow about, you will leave a telltale yellowish trail . . .
Living in the desert where there are damn few 'comfort stops' in a hundred miles, we locate a saguaro cactus with a flush handle . . .
Remember: U-r-in control! Pun intended.

Yeah, what could possibly go wrong?

Well OK.

First, cut back on the caffeine. My internist tells me it can result in prostatosis independent of any diuretic effect it may or may not have.

Second, take it easy on the pre-ride hydration. As important as it is to drink along the way, you don't have to be sloshing before the ride. All you'll do is pee it out.

You can consider antispasmodics such as Enablex. However, they exert anti-cholinergic side effects which could predispose you to heat injury. I've found Enablex helpful but I would be very hesitant to try it on a ride on a hot day. When it's hot out I sweat so much my wee-wee is reduced to dust and ashes.

TMI, no doubt.

This information is for general information only. Unfortunately, Obama/Pelosi didn't see fit to include tort reform in the current healthcare law, so docs still are having to append anything we say on the interwebs so people won't sue us.

The idea of urinating in an adult diaper while cycling disgusts me but I'm not here to judge. An after-ride shower would be a good idea, seems to me. Someone should point out that frequent urination could be related to an enlarged prostate. Get that puppy checked out (request a glove) and have it removed if it's an issue. You'll pee like an ox, cycle lighter by a few grams, and support the U.S. health care system. Everyone wins.

If your in town, there's usually a facility somewhere (fast food joints), and if your in the boondocks, there's usually a tree. Or something.

That is the ugliest thing I've read here bar none and I've reported you to the moderators.

I'm required to make that addendum for legal reasons and if you had any familiarity with medicolegal issues (ie, if you had a clue what you where talking about) you'd understand that.

As a gastroenterologist I'm perfectly capable of giving you instructions on where to take your comments.

I received a PM from someone saying that the forums had gotten a bit out of hand lately and he would be laying off this place. I think he's right.

Goodbye.

And, I sincerely hope you come back in a happier frame of mind.
Over the past year, your once joyfully twisted humor -which I really enjoyed- has become more and more bitter.

As for my comments: many many years ago, ancient man looked in the skies and saw stars.
The stars suggested figures to them... birds, hunters, bears, dogs... and the were so named.
Man was just connecting the dots he saw.
And, as the stars they saw were actually light years apart and not associated at all, Man was wrong.

So, maybe my dots are wrong too but I can only go by what I see and the perspective I have. Go in peace.

But how long can you go between peeing?

My answer was serious. External catheters (also called Texas catheters) are popular with ultra distance racers.

how about waiting longer before you leave the house? the caffeine will still be in your system but not the fluids. can you get up an hour earlier?

If faced with this situation, I would be looking for ways to get the liquid away from me and the bike, not for a way to carry it with me and certainly not to sit in it. If a quick stop on the side of the road won't do it for you, something like the Texas catheter would seem to be the next best thing.

Sorry if you thought my first response was lacking compassion. I wasn't 100% sure you were serious at the time and I kept getting the image of that nutty astronaut lady driving across the country to get the woman who took her man.

I have to drink so much to keep my throat from drying out that I have to go frequently and sometimes urgently. I do have to stop and walk to the edge of the woods sometimes during a ride, but the thought of an adult diaper never crossed my mind.

I can actually hold it for 12 hours.
Once you get passed the first pain it is OK.
