Bib tights & Peeing!

Posts: 58
Wore my winter gear on a training ride yesterday which included bib tights for the first time. After about 30 minutes I realised that I needed a pee. Then I realised how the hell are you supposed to easily relieve yourself at the side of the road in a pair of those! The rest of the ride was uncomfortable to say the least.
Any tips?!

Just un-tuck your willy from your socks and pee awayyyy...... :shock:
OK, slip the straps off your shoulders, pull front of bibs down, bend double, extract willy and pee

I rather sling it over my shoulder than tuck it in my sock

too much fluid before and during the ride ?0

Probably drank as much as I would have on a sumer ride and it was freezing yesterday so will have to cut back on the fluids.0

Left hand plunge and stretch lycra / right hand grab willy, skin and aim. Reverse if left handed

Top up, pull bib down, simple!
Helps if you lean forwards 0 -

I tried that but my Rucksack straps chaffed... 0 -
Pee yourself on the go then wash your bibs when you get home....sorted, its warm for a while but anything longer than an hour it starts to smell......so I am told :roll:0

Had some great laughs watching people try and pee (I'm a perv) whilst wearing bib shorts. There must be a good reason for wearing them ?0

I take it that you don't use a Camelback - the possibilities could be horrendous!
Horrendous or very useful... a bit of imaginative plumbing and not only is your problem solved, you don't even need to get off the bike!
More seriously, it all depends on the bibs and how low-cut they are. My summer shorts are an easy stretch, but my winter thermal bibs are more of a problem...0 -
get a pair for a tenner from Aldi's have a small zip at the front. On sale right now

If the front of the tights is high, slip the shoulder straps off and down the arms, allowing greater "access"<b><i>He that buys land buys many stones.

I was actually thinking about drinking out of the wrong ...er... tube / bladder. :evil: :shock: Not so useful. [:throwing up smiley:]

The solution is to not wear bib tights, basically.
When riding your bike, always wear a pair of trousers. If you are cold on your top half, wear a shirt over a t-shirt, or a long-sleeved t-shirt over your normal t-shirt.
Wear a buff or scarf if your head/neck gets cold, and gloves for your hands.
there's absolutely NO reason why it has to be ANY more complicated than that.0 -
It would seem that there are other answers for others less well endowed (not including myself of course)
The real answer is to catheterise and then have the catheter fitted down behind the right leg so that you can simply dribble along all day (happens as you get older anyway, and without the catheter!)
Secondly - just ride naked as this will not impede bladder venting at all and you will be able to release the contents of your bladder without worrying about wet clothing. Simply cock an appropriate leg, point beneath and pee!
However do warn your stoker if you are on a tandem, or ask them to assist by taking a firm grasp and pointing the organ themselves. Then any splashing is their own responsibility. You may find that pointing is easier if the stoker is an attractive member of the opposite sex (not too attractive though, or their may be a problem peeing at all!).<b><i>He that buys land buys many stones.

Don't fancy the zip anywhere close down there, the image from the film 'something about mary' springs to mind.peter andrew wrote:get a pair for a tenner from Aldi's have a small zip at the front. On sale right now

Pull down and hold tights with boith hands and find a nice lady to hold it for you :oops:0

You need " young ladies".....
Surely you will need one to hold the bike as well?
This is getting to be a marathon task, and a bit "lighbulbish"
How many young ladies does it take to help a cyclist pee?<b><i>He that buys land buys many stones.
