Every peed on your bike while riding? or know someone that did?
I was shocked reading Phil Gaimon book that pros do this sometimes.

    "Shocked" just from reading something in a book, wow you have a weak disposition. Peeing on the move during a race is quite common amongst pro riders, why do you think leisure riders would need yo do this? Hope you are not to Shocked by this
    Lol

    Oh and for clarity they don't actually make a conscious effort to pee on their bikes, they try to miss and go off to one side, yes shocking isn't it peeing on the road

    With the amount of fluids the riders need to take onboard it's really no surprise alot of riders need to pee mid race.

    I've never done it, I'm more of a "nip behind a hedge" person, even that's a mildly gymnastic exercise when wearing bibs. I think the pros have an unwritten agreement during races to have a comfort break where the pace slows and no one attacks, allowing them to stop if they want.

    That is crucial to not being peed on by accident. I had someone pee by accident all over themselves on a climb back in Austria. Much pointing and laughing ensued, followed by being dropped.

    "Laughed out loud" just from what you wrote in your post? You must laugh at things incredibly easily.

    Your initial point was good though until you did the same, at least the OP didn't use a daft acronym when he did it though eh.

    If you need to wee wee while you're riding then you're drinking more fluid than your body needs.
    Work harder, sweat it out don't piss it down the drain.
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.

    Nonsense.
    Quite the opposite is true. If you don't need to pee as often as usual then you're almost certainly not drinking enough.
    Are you under the illusion that the sole function of drinking is to compensate for sweat and exhaled water vapour?
    In that case why do we need to drink so much when we're not exercising? I peed this morning (no notable exercise in last 24hrs). Does that mean I've been drinking too much? We could save a fortune on sewage works if everyone was aware of this!

    I just piss through a catheter into a specially lined saddle bag.

    Urinating mid-race is a common practice amongst Formula 1 drivers I believe.

    I've tried it once in a race while the bunch was rolling along at 50kmph. I couldn't go. Blame it on stage fright or the knowledge that peeing at 50kmph at an uncomfortable angle is just plain wrong. I always wait for the aforementioned comfort break nowadays (if the race has one). Most of the time you don't need to go - it's only 4hrs and you can hold it until the end! Some guys manage it while moving but the general consensus in my team is that it's something you need to practice!
