Ok, so not actually when you're on the bike.

A friend I ride with seems to need to 'go' every half hour or so. I can't remember the last time I needed to (while on a ride). Thing is he drinks about half as much as me. I tend to think I'm pretty good about keeping hydrated: on a 4-5 hour ride I'll drink about 3-4 litres. My friend refills his 750ml water bottle once in that time.

Does dehydration make you pee more? Is there something wrong with me/him?

Is there something wrong with me?

only that you're talking about weeing on a public forum

I always go for a slash after the first 20 mins or so then I am fine.

Maybe he's better hydrated before hand ?

You need a bigger problem to worry about

Probably. It's just one of those things that niggles away (like a dripping tap maybe).

When going for big rides I tend to fill up my camelbak, then get annoyed as its heavier then usual. I then drink more, and thus have to pee more.

When I drink less, I usually pee less. If your piss is a dark colour, you need to drink more. If your piss looks clean enough to drink, drink a little less.

If your piss looks clean enough to drink, drink a little less. stop thinking about drinking your own piss

i didn't need a wee for 7 hours yesterday whilst riding then done 4 wee's within 3 laps, and we're talking 'for gods sake just stop' wee's

hehehehehehe

81 miles today = 4h 53m – of that 20mins were spent stopping for a pee.

3 litres of water drunk during ride and then about 500ml after words.

2 LARGE pees since then too.

WOOOP!

He should learn to urinate without stopping.

If that's normal then I should probably be booking a prostate exam 😯

well, not 20mins of actual peeing. more like less than a min per pee…

didnt explain that too well. heh.

You should try being a woman. I need to go at least every hour on a ride.

It's worse if you're the only female on a group ride, finding a bush in the middle of nowhere is tricky.

Could be his saddle causing probs.

Best he gets checked by GP to check his lobes.

If i drink tea, i want to urinate quite frequently, the same with Lucozade sport.

Need to urinate frequently is also a sign of infection,prostate trouble usually affects men only from the age of 40 upwards.

i have the bladder of a hamster, its a running joke with cycling mates but i think secretly everyone likes havin a breather

81 miles today = 4h 12m – of that 0mins were spent stopping for a pee.

1.5 litres of water drunk during ride and then about 500ml afterwords.

2 LARGE pees since then tho.

Your better if pissing regular and often don't and you risk kidney stones. Then you'll not be laughing at your mate. Exercise increases the need to have a whazz.
