Call of nature while riding?

[meamoantonio]

popping behind a tree is usually acceptable while on a trail for men and women I think, roadies and triathletes do have to take different kinds of solutions though (bib shorts and trim suits get in the way) triathletes usually just pee on the bike and roadies wait for the next cafe stop haha

I am on a two week/longer bikepacking/touring trip..I have my tissue with me...

I am in the rural parts of India where using the nature is the norm..many people don't have toilets at home..

But, I still amso averse to watering or "fertilizing" the nature..

Yesterday, I had to..I just looked, looked,waited, water..and finally found the right spot..

After all, it's part of the journey...:-)

In my case, I am not sure why but when I gotta tinkle, I always manage to hold it till we or I hit a restroom at a park or my turnaround point.

But I will say, that though I try to prepare properly for a ride after breakfast, sometimes I get the feeling like I really have to go 💩

Somehow, the saddle seems like it is so far up that it reverses the feeling. Really surprised that it can wait till after a 40 mile ride. 😆

Fortunately during RAGBRI the corn is tall enough to hide a person during tinkle time. Farmers along the route love it, they get more yield along the route.

You might check this out more; however, apparently, especially males, and taking the saddle into account, there is a health risk if we don't urinate and we hold it in too long.

I myself have never had any kind of problems. Always played sports so there were plenty of times I had to wait to go. Can't just walk off the field playing ball asking 20 other guys to wait for you. 😆

Maybe because I've always took in a lot of water, never have I had any bladder or related infections. And after 34 years of consistent cycling without any issues, at age 63, not having had any and I don't expect any but if they do arrive, probably more of an issue with age than waiting to tinkle. 😁
