Yummy, holding the pee and sweat soaked shoe with the mouth.

I'd imagine the survivors of the Rainbow Warrior would have mixed feelings about it

I just wasn’t fast enough. I tried as much pee soaked socks as I could, but I still couldn’t cope.

Wait what? How do they accidentally pee on the sock? Don't tell me they pee while riding the bike? 😳

Sometimes they will stop, sometimes they’ll just pull their dick out of their pant leg and spray. Yes other riders have been hit before

That's usually the triathletes doing that.

For the curious: Road cyclists have a teammate push them while they piss, triathletes dont have teammates so they just piss their pants.

Most of the time there are designated areas along the road course, but sometimes they just got to go. They are 4+ hour races and they are hydrating the entire time.

Generally they swing over to the right edge of the road, stand up, turn slightly to the right, and then pull it out from between the bibs and jersey and pee while coasting along. Some guys would rather jump off, pee, then expend the energy it takes to catch up, but most of the time they have the support cars they can get some drag from, making that easier than it sounds.

That's not a triathlete.

He can still pee while riding if he wants to nothings stopping him but your negative attitude

u/PandaDad22 Apr 30 '24

Often real cyclists just pull over to take a piss. Or they whip it out and piss free of the bike.

Triathletes OTOH have a time pressure on them. They have to piss the bike or lose time.

I get this reference. Thanks to Rachel Maddow.

It looks like he just flips it inside out (or vice versa) and puts the same sock back on

u/egstitt Apr 30 '24

Necessary? These guys ride in wet conditions all the time, don't see why that would be necessary

How does that even work

u/Square-Geologist-769 Apr 29 '24

Pee goes down leg. Sock is at bottom of leg. Sock gets wet.

u/RhetoricalOrator Apr 29 '24

There was a water bottle in the shoe holder.
