I ran across this post this afternoon and it was too good to not share.
While not directly applicable to mountain bike racers, it should come in handy for any of those planning to take to the roads this summer, or simply enlighten others to the types of challenges a road rider encounters… And here I thought road riding was boring ;-)

A riot! Now about a number 2!
I’ve always wondered how they pee during those 225 km races.
Yeah, being the type of guy who can’t consistently shoulder check without swerving all over the road, I’d undoubtedly end up in a not-so-pleasant situation…
I’m the same way. This would not go well for me. Not only would I crash, I’d crash into my own pee. Plus I wouldn’t be willing to even be at risk for penile road rash. The risks of peeing while riding seem to outweigh the rewards.
Bwahahaha…
Road rash + penis + pool of urine = Bad news
No thanks ;-)
Good luck trying that on a fixed gear. ;)
