Call of nature while riding?
#1
You know you're out in a mixed group on the tracks or on the road and you just gotta go...and there are no toilets available.🙄

What do you do?

Males: Is it good manners or ethical to pop out around behind a tree?

Females: What do you do?

Regardless of gender and whether modesty is your thing or not; you need to consider who else might be around, be they other cyclists or traffic. I certainly use a call of nature break to do more than just that. Check your bike, eat/drink, bring down the heart rate for a spell. Racing is a different story.

I do carry some TP for just in case since it takes up very little space, and I have been stuck with the leaves alternative in the past.
Take care,
Jesper
