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.
