catherine123 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Howzit guys, I have an odd and awkward question for the readers.... I am super duper new to this sport so I thought I would ask cyberspace first, instead of posing this in person to some random - #lol What do you do if you need a "comfort break" either just before starting a super early ride or during a super early ride? Especially for female riders? I don't have any clue of what cycling etiquette is on this topic? Thanks...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you do the job behind the nearest bush. It is really not an issue. ChUkKy, AdamA, openmind and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDan Posted November 20, 2018 Share Don't some ladies' bibs have zips on the back to make the task a little less awkward? Spoke101 and catherine123 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyronLab Posted November 20, 2018 Share The awkward part is actually trying to get out of the bib short... I, inevitably, decide to not go full monty and take it off, but rather stand there crouched over like Quasimodo trying to not pee on myself. I did this behind a chrome water tanker during the 94.7. Being a lady you shouldn't have this problem though. Gen, Knersboy and catherine123 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikebloke Posted November 20, 2018 Share the rule is .....if the peleton stops for one rider to pee then everyone stops and pees together - usually in a line along the road edge in that crippled hunchback stance required when you try to pee while wearing bib shorts - helmets and glasses and gloves are not removed . for a lady i think possibly a clean piece of inner tube would make things easier its cycling you will get used to it Edited November 20, 2018 by bikebloke catherine123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted November 20, 2018 Share Don't some ladies' bibs have zips on the back to make the task a little less awkward? They do. Anatomic and Ciovita spring to mind. Specialized also has a clip system on the back strap after the Y-joint. I'm sure there are many other brands with similar designs. catherine123 and Traveler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allrounder Posted November 20, 2018 Share my wife has the anatomic one. according to her, its even better than sliced bread. You can always let it go while riding.... Dexter-morgan, catherine123 and Andrew Steer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithbe Posted November 21, 2018 Share Treat it like a mechanical. Everyone stops to help out; although in this case there's only the need to stop. Unless you need help to get out of your bib :| catherine123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave303e Posted November 21, 2018 Share The funniest thing is during an expedition race, first pee is usually behind a bush out of sight of the team but after 5 days of racing you lucky if your team mate even takes a step away from you to pee, luckier if they not peeing on your leg..
