Only Quality Posts From Me
Since joining the group here at Two Wheel Blogs, I have been made to feel very welcome. I quickly learned that you guys are serious bikers and thus I have tried to only post quality stuff.
So today, after a great - really windy - 32F trail ride with a good friend, while enjoying a post ride beer and Turkish Kebap ......
I looked out the window and a dog was busy peeing on my bike.
I had driven down to meet my friend so the pee bike was put back in the car. If my wife learns of this, it will be up for sale on monday. Shhhh.

I noticed that there was no pee or urine tag so I have added them. OK?
Hard to anticipate
Uh, well those tags were a little hard to anticipate my friend.
Sorry to hear about your misfortune by the, uh, hand of a rude visitor.
I do that myself....
I have pissed on my own bike on purpose....No, I am not trying to show the bike who is boss, or even marking my territory.
A couple years ago, I was on a long gravel road ride during freezing conditions. I guess a salt truck had come by and salted the road, because there were melted areas that allowed the finest silt and muck to get splashed up into my drivetrain and froze in place (it was a windy day, too). I have since learned that there are others who have resorted to warm urine to keep things moving on a cold sloppy day.
Cycling ain't always pretty...but bikes are easy to clean.
That cracks me up
I can see it helping though. When I was riding last weekend, my brakes keep freezing up, resulting in no brake power. Now I realize that I need new rotors, but when dry they at least stop. The ice was getting built up between the caliper and pads.
I resorted to spiting in the caliper with water from my pack. It worked but only for 10 or so minutes. I also had this happen yesterday during my ride. And those brakes are find so idk. Guess I'll just piss on them next time ; )
you would be surprised...
The water you spit freezes near 32 degrees F. I suspect the chemistry in your urine will keep things in the liquid state at lower temps...not to mention it contains a lot more heat than the water you are spitting.
This conversation is pretty sad, but when you stop 5+ times on a ride to de-ice your gear...you start experimenting with things (or liquids) that work better. I do not recommend this practice for de-icing your camel-bak hose BTW.
