    Oh my goodnes. I never. As they said, I suppose that was perfectly executed. And no, I had never wondered. Now you have me wondering; do women stay on the bike or get off? Me - I'd get off. I don't need the rash that would come with being that type of wet in my tender areas.

    I have seen in pass years were the entire pelaton stops for a nature break. It's like 30 guys pissing on the same fence. Must smell nice.

    I am sure I would crash trying to piss while on my bike or even worse piss into the wind and have it splash back in my face.

    I asked this question to my husband the other day while we were watching! And he told me they do it while they are on the bikes.

    Can you imagine if you got it on the guy behind you though. haha.

    Nicely done!!
    I know they make potty breaks... Never really wondered about how they pissed on a bike. Although, as a female, I can't really do that!

    There was a story going around a couple of years ago that one of these riders took a dump in a hat being held by another rider so they wouldn't have to stop. Don't know if it's true but that would be an impressive maneuver.

    Did you see the guy a few days ago... He had a bad case of the ****s, and basically pulled up at someone's camper van and said "I need your toilet"...

    Worrying thing was,, he looked like he was wearing a ski suit rather than shorts and jersey... So nipping behind a bush wasn't really an option...

    Marathon runners in a race pee while running. I wouldn't expect anything less of a racing cyclist.

    *I don't race* like *that!* :laugh:

    Saw this recently in the TdF (maybe around stage 5?). Bunch of guys all stopped at once to pee and the cameras caught it. Made me giggle
