I cycle quite a bit (500-1000km / month), but my recreational routes have all been near areas where I know I’ll have access to public toilets and clean drinking water.

I’d love to venture out onto more rural roads and areas, way outside of areas that might normally have toilet access, but that’s quite literally the only thing holding me back from doing so.

What are your strategies? Piss by the side of the road and hope nobody sees you? Squat out in a heavily forested area and risk ticks?

This is not a topic that ever gets talked about with cycle tourists, endurance riders, and other long-distance cyclists, so I’d love to know how to approach this!

    I fill up drinking water at wells, cafes or restaurants, pee just by the road, poo i also only do once a day, in the morning. This is especially true while on tour, the poo thing. Have to get out of the tent real quick when i wake up, but then i’m done for a day.
