Reminds me of a time when I was a newbie carrier pilot in a single seat attack squadron. We had returned to the USS Independence for the landing and there was a delay. I really had to pee. Around the ship it was mandatory to fly 'tight' (close) to look good around the other squadrons. ('Better die than look bad'...an old honored Navy Air tradition) So there I was, trying to fly really close and had to pee even more urgently. In desperation I pulled out the relief tube juggling the stick, throttle and the tube while maintaining my position and examining this all but unknown device. Despite all the hours and hours of training no one had ever explained operation of the relief tube! (or maybe I slept through that part?) Yielding to my primal urges I unzipped my suit and torso harness and let go, all while maintaining position and avoiding spillage. Halfway through filling the conical containing I wondered "what if it overflows?".........Luckily I finished up with the golden fluid just below the rim. Whew!

"Your signal charlie, Wolf-Hunters." (descend to the break for landing.) "Okay smart boy what's going to happen when my aircraft traps going from 130 mph to zero in a few hundred feet? The gents who service the Scooter are gong to be pissed not to mention my getting a urine-related nickname for the rest of my career from my squadron mates. Good grief! How do I empty this damned thing? I looked for a switch, a button, a valve, anything. Down to 600' into the break, make it nice and tight..look good ...oh SH__! Then I noticed a tiny silver protuberance on the rim. In desperation I pushed it down.......SWOOOOSH..out it went! After that the subsequent landing was unremarkable, my experience a secret until after I retired.

Can you ride, pee, and eat that sweaty banana all at the same time? That is the more serious question.

In triathlons, I have peed in my wetsuit. I figure the lake or river washes it off. Peeing in a pool is unacceptable. I would never pee on my bike, though. I just stop and find a tree or rocks to go behind.

OH!!!!!!!!!!!!! From this date, on, I will never look at a used bike in the same light again.

I don't even want to think what you might have done had you had the urge to pinch a loaf.... ("My seat has cut-outs, so I thought 'what they hey, it'll be like a Play-Dough Factory'...")

Nope. You're alone in this, big boy.

my friend is does Ironmans and other triathlons and he urinates amongst other things while on the bike. There is not stopping for bathroom breaks in those events

I hope somebody can back me up because if you really were racing or doing a fast group ride, the last thing you want to do is get off the bike and lose the group. Also, I pee in pools and even in the shower, not ashamed of it. I am sure 99% of us do...

No, no, and no.
Finally I am in the 1% of something...

Start a new thread. I dare you!


I double dog dare you!

I like this thread. I have "issues" with my bladder that cause me to pee every 15 - 60 minutes. It makes long rides really challenging. I've been caught in the rain a few times and considered this, but have never brought myself to actually doing it, I don't think I could.

Perhaps there is a reason why some people's bikes are corroding so much they just crumble into pieces.

Unless you have some type of infection in your plumbing, urine is actually pretty sterile.

I think if any of us did that at any point in our lives, we probably outgrew it by the time we were about 3 years old.


What you do in your shower is up to you ... but it's just not on to do something like that in a public place like a swimming pool.

Ever swim in the ocean? Or a lake?

Fish don't use port-a-potties...

auldgeunquers 12-29-14 02:17 PM

No. No. Nope. Never.

This is why I don't willingly do pools. Ok ... the moose and the fish pee in the lakes and the rivers, but still ... if the water is such that nothing can live in it, why would I want to put my live body into it? And lakes and rivers have natural processes to process the pee and poo that enter the system. ... Wonder how much of the salt in the oceans originates as urine ...

I am now an extra measure leery of group rides too ...

Certain of you may NOT shower at my place. Ever. Well maybe ... if you scrub the tub after each and every use. Twice.

did it! that's a warm fuzzy feeling!!

Just pee directly on the top tube? It will run down the frame and keep the chain fresh

who drafts who in this case?

From a practical standpoint you have a larger surface area so its better if she drafts you, plus you have the ability to aim where your pee lands, thus guaranteeing a golden draft.

rommer25 12-29-14 02:52 PM

This guy should post a photo on the "photo of YOUR bicycle near water" tread.

woodcraft 12-29-14 02:54 PM

My scuba diving friend said that 90% pee in their wetsuits, & the other 10% are liars.


As far as I know, members of this group have not sunk into disease & depravity.

Already did..

Guys lets keep it on track. One of ur comments made me think, is pee more corrosive than sweat? I'm assuming sweat is moreso than water.

I don't think he's aiming... Incognito is the word!
