Subject: RE: Going to the bathroom on the bike trixie



Zilla - 2009-03-16 1:18 PM Paulettejo - 2009-03-16 9:36 AM Well, I did a long ride on Sunday with a group. I kind of have bathroom problems, and I asked one of my friends what I should do. She said "just go on the bike." Excuse me if what follows is somewhat lude. At the midway point we stop and nearly bonked, so I grabbed some hot tamales, lays chips, and a red bull...I felt so much better, but that soon got worse. So about 40 miles into my ride, I'm chatting up with the riding group when the urge hit me. I really didn't want to tell them to stop - hey, it sounds like people do this all the time. So I lifted up off my seat and pushed. Kind of felt gross - like I was wearing depends or something. I do ride and adamo, so I'm not necesarily sitting on my butt the entire time, so I though I'd be safe. I poured water on myself to try to oxidize the smell. I was fine - a little uncomfortable - for about 5 miles when someone next to me started yelling - "oh , oh !" Well it appears that even with the elastic band, tri shorts don't keep in everything. It was running down my leg. Now I felt uncomfortable. I asked her "what do you usually do? DO you carry bags, like I do when I walk my dog." She furiously sped away. This was one hot mess. I live in AZ, and it got to 80...not to mention I had to ride another 40 miles like this...the chaffing is unbearable. So in a long winded way, what, first of all is the ettiquite for going to the bathroom on your bike during group rides? 2) Is there anything that you can buy/do to alleviate the nastiness of #2 (bags, bike toliet seat?)? LMAO!!! PJ ... this is exactly why I love you!!!! I cannot believe I missed this ride. Maybe our pal Trixie can help. Dude.
