Yeah well, when ya gotta go..........

Walter 01-21-12 06:38 PM

$54 bucks to keep your race lead? No brainer.

eippo1 01-21-12 08:21 PM

Seriously? How do they plan a race that goes for half the day and expect nobody to have to go to the bathroom?

Velo Vol 01-21-12 08:49 PM

What's the alternative? Are there porta potties along the route?

RJM 01-21-12 08:58 PM

I guess they could piss themselves while they are riding.

This is one of the things that separates us from the anima....uh, triathletes.

There's not much use in arguing with my bladder.

After a swim, how soon do you have to go?

jrobe 01-21-12 09:45 PM

If it is 104 degrees and you aren't peeing once per hour or so, you are threatening your health. Piss on them.

Silvercivic27 01-21-12 10:12 PM

At least they aren't pissing on spectators out the top of the bibs while riding!

That!!

All bike racers should carry a small black screen built into their cycling shorts which when unfolded allows them to relieve themselves discretely. Something like a small tent. Of course, nothing can be done about the sound of tricking wastewater so parents of children who witness such events must be advised to avert their eyes, and cover their ears...but then again they're Aussie's so 'taking a piss' shouldn't be a big deal. :)

Imagine, peeing when you have to pee being unseemly behavior.

I've heard you can order extra-small so you should still be okay.

i like to go a size up for those.

by the time the ladies find out the truth they're already committed and it's too late for them to decline.

I was taking that into consideration.

datlas 01-22-12 12:33 PM

Oh brother.

Next thing you know, they will be fining you for blowing snot rockets...or saying "****!"

triumph.1 01-22-12 02:47 PM

Guess there will be a lot of fines given. 54 bucks a piss at that level, who would care.

Ouch!

Perhaps it's just easier to wear a catheter and have a small drain tube routed underneath the BB. This design could be for either gender.

That'd certainly discourage drafting...
