Can’t agree more on the saddle, I changed mine recently and the new one seems virtually identical in shape and feel to the old one, but the comfort difference is like night and day.
Using the word "stupid" in this context is really unhelpful. If people are embarrassed about stuff there needs to be a supportive environment in which they can raise them, without feeling "stupid". It's nothing to do with "individualism" and more to do with being judged.
@@canningsimon yeah, I agree. I just wish it wasn’t so. We all have the same bodily functions and it’s bizarre to me that we live in a society and moment in time where there there is so much shame and embarrassment about them.
Clear answers to difficult questions, that's how we like it. I always use a handkerchief to blow my nose, without a part ending up in my ear and the rest on my fingers 🤧. I will clearly have to practice more.. A little joke to close: Where is the rear side of a tree? Where the poop lays. Keep enjoying your bike rides.
Yesssss. So happy to hear you mention the cup. It has transformed my comfort to cycle while I’m on my period. Including going for a wee while cycling. If anyone is unsure… go for it!!! You will not look back.
Thank you for talking about the other 50% of the climb - getting back down. I love climbing, but especially steep gravel/mtb tracks scare the hell out of me sometimes. In some cases I push the bike down, but you are right, this is sometimes even worse than just going through it.
Funny thing about the chafe/saddle/hair removal/numbness thing - I've never had so many conversations about my 'bits' in my whole life as I've had out on a long ride with the bunch. Seems like it's an academic discussion, talking about our own bodies in the third person.
Very well done Katie, and brave! Been riding in Melbourne, Australia (Beach Rd. of course..!) for about 30 years now. It's great to see so many more women riding now, and getting this awkward information out there can only help more women feel comfortable about the complications of riding.
I use Shimano SPD pedals because I used to go spinning and those are the pedals they use, so if I rode my bike to the gym it made sense to use the same shoes. Plus they are a damn sight easier to walk in that "proper" road cleats. There is little or no evidence that they are any worse in any way, and certainly not at my level, so it's a bit of a no-brainer. The only downside is the reduced shoe selection, but honestly, there are so many on the market these days it's not really an issue
- I do wear casual t-shirt and short, with an under-short. - Why don't you bury your paper with the rest !? You bring it back home, to throw it in the toilet so that it ends up down the near river ? - I do use paper handkerchief, and always carry several ones for my rides (and use Atrovent to reduce the runny nose effect by 90%).
Hi Katie supper informative video and very honest but were all human Ive never had any shame when it comes to ppl asking about toileting (I'm glad you mention about not leaving wipes/paper, most think you just bury them too and also to be mindful about being near water sources, I use a water filter 😱) I'm relatively new to the long distance cycling scene but used to do long distance hiking/backpacking so kinda the same. just to help anyone I don't shave anywhere, or wear lycra/padded shorts never used creme either doing 50-60 mile a day on bike touring trips, I only wear quick dry hiking pants/cargo shorts +cotton boxers I know everyones different but do think saddle choice is extremely important and mostly determines what you need to wear and not wear "depending on activity" im not into speed and my T-shirts can act like a sail dragging my speed to a crawl depending on wind direction 😂, but like you say its what your comfortable wearing, for anyone who's interested I use the brooks b17 its fantastic!, I was sceptical at first because its rock hard and slippy turns out these qualities are what make it perfect for long distance at first i did have pressure pain on my sit bones to start but no numbness and nothing lasting when off the bike and nothing that put me off getting back on the bike, for comparison my old saddle was grippy and slightly cushioned it would grip loose clothing and rub me raw the longer I rode, I think the cushioning just made it more painful I had a whole host of numbness and pain in my nether regions never gotten any better.
Great vid Katie. Things that women in particular, have to figure in, on long rides. Makes your exploits even more remarkable. Hope the achilles is enjoying the break, have a great weekend.
Brilliant for you to talk about lady issues whilst riding, never seen anyone speak about this before, inspiring for sure. What would you recommend for skin pinching on the inside of the groin. Inevitably, I'll get quite a sore boil after so many rides. Shorts feel comfortable, seat feels fine 🤷♂️
Always keeping it real uh ? Really appreciate the honest approach 😃 It was about things we experience on a regular basis though, males and females, might as well exchange views on it; At the very beginning, I thought saddle pain was to be endured stoically, it was a matter of pride!! My god, how foolish of me! 🤧 And the outtake made me scream with laughter 😅🤣 Wish you an entertaining weekend!
Hi Katie, great video, re ladies and being comfy while riding. My wife was always coming back from a bike ride very sore, after a trip to the Boardman Performance Centre in 2018 for a bike fit, Bianca Broadbent suggested Cavilon cream as a posed to chamois cream (as my wife has very sensitive skin and was also reacting to chamois creams) along with a Specialized Power Expert saddle and Kalas bib shorts (both Zoom X and 3D endurance pads) she can now enjoy her bike again with no issues 👍
Cavilon is brilliant stuff, nurse gave me a tube for bedsores after I broke my hip(not one of my better rides!) and was horizontal for 3 months . When I started riding again I tried using it and was very pleased with it's performance. You only need a small amount, it's clean/not messy. I guess a pressure sore is similar whether from a bed or a saddle. Steve
Great tips. I did a gravel ride recently and when on the road section I had a moped rider empty the contents of his nose on me during overtaking me, he shouted some profanity after doing it. I don't think he liked bicycles on the road. Glad I ride mostly MTB trails and forest gravel tracks in Wales.
it's great that you made a video like this! However I do think there is a "price" for going fast downhills since descending is part of cycling too, not just climbing and riding on the flats. But I am obviously not trying to make less experienced riders, descenders to take huge risks.
I went kayaking down the arkan River in Sweden.for pooping we would use a stick to spread it..(helps the worms do their job). Like you, for tissue we rolled it up into a plastic bag (dog poop bag). Placed in bin when able.
Okay another embarrassing question is, it seems as if you are used to and comfortable pooping while on a long ride and I am sure you try to find as much privacy as you can, but you never can always find a private place like behind a bush. So have you had to poop and did someone stumble upon you while you pooped? If so how did you handle it and what was the person's reaction? I think runner Paula Radcliffe was in competition and had to poop and just dropped shorts and pooped in in front of spectators. She didn't want to lose the race by finding a proper toilet.
Great video. I am still very nervous descending despite living in Sheffield! I just go super slow and I try not to feel bad that others have to wait. I have found discs are better for wet weather. I try not to shave but it's a bit tricky for swimming!
Well done. Some things need to be mentioned. I was surprised when a female rider told me my bib shorts were translucent! I was mortified, but accepting. It was not intentional but the honestly was appreciated.
I live on the wrong side of the pond, and once got asked if I was wearing some kind of European shorts by another cyclist. I was very confused, but finally realized the back had ripped partially open and my butt was showing (yes, people here somehow thought that must be some kind of wild European style thing!)
Im not afraid of descent per se. Im afraid that the nice road will end and transform into some unpaved road full of rocks or I will enocunter road full of cracks in the middle of descent. Happened to me few times while doing routes for the first time. Also I'm always riding my gravel bike in MTB shorts, I cant get used to lycra but this does not bother me at all. I feel comfortable and thats all what matter.
ok, embarassing question - what gears do you have on your climbing bike? I live in a hilly area, and just bought a second hand bike with a 52/36 and 11/30 and I'm struggling a bit on the hills. I'm thinking of changing to a 11/34 at the back (as I have a long cage rear mech), will that be enough or should I change to a 50/34 at the front also? I'm 107kg at the moment and trying to get down a bit... ok a lot, but getting up the hills will be a start, otherwise the bike will stay in the shed
Good tips thanks. Interesting answer on the ingrown hairs. I suffer from something called a pilonidal sinus which saw me in hospital in aldershot in the 90s needing an op. I was always told to keep it clean and dry and have always used veet and a hygiene routine mainly because the sweat builds up and uses the hair to get in cause infection which is incredibly painful. No idea about hairs elsewhere but certainly there I’d be inclined to get rid. Not disagreeing with what you said but found it interesting with the different advice.
Clean and dry is not different to what I said, I said don’t wax or shave which aggravates the skin and hair follicle :) you can still be clean using a trimmer or getting lazer to remove hair.
Hi Katie that was good what you said we're still in lockdown l am 160 kms from Melbourne l have been watching tour of Spain some good Aussie riders having ago
Very interesting and useful Katie. Here's a question I can never get a straight answer for - I understand using chamois cream to stop rubbing from saddle but on 200k plus rides I find sweat/rain running down the front of one's shorts. Is Chamois cream still the best option then ? seems a bit counter productive in sticking the shorts to your frontal area?
Have you ever felt self-conscious about re-arranging your injury house? lol These questions could be the very things in people's minds that make them hesitant about riding. Good video!
I have to say I bailed on this video at the popping part. And I didn’t need to hear the part about managing one’s period on the bike. But I don’t see any chapters called “snot rockets”. Learn how to do those right, or it’s a mess! My pro tip for the day.
Bio degradable dog poo bags for the poop paper. Literally built for that purpose, oh and they're fraganced too. 💩😁 Thanks for covering the less glamorous topics that nobody else seems to want to cover. 👌🙂
I'm sorry but this is sort of greenwashing. Even bamboo bio-degradable wipes challenge the environment until they do eventually decompose. They do not belong anywhere in the countryside, as they are ugly to see lying around in bushes, could end up in water sources or eaten by animals, and we certainly do not want that.
When they break or you want to change. They very rarely break, just require some maintenance. Shimano are a few mins with a couple of tools and some grease. See UA-cam videos.
Any advice for dealing with the ingrown hairs / subcutaneous cysts when they happen? Hard area to see to go pimple popping... Also, if a train goes past whilst you are answering the call of nature, don't worry, you'll never meet those people, so don't feel embarrassment ...
@@KatieKookaburra me too, just that skin is a bit tough, need to dig in a bit to get an opening before the squeeze... just have to take a day or two away from the saddle... #recoverydayjobs

Not riding with a backpack did it for me.
Thanks for this. I don’t know why we feel so embarrassed about some of this stuff as the majority of us experience the same issues.
Using the word "stupid" in this context is really unhelpful. If people are embarrassed about stuff there needs to be a supportive environment in which they can raise them, without feeling "stupid". It's nothing to do with "individualism" and more to do with being judged.
@@canningsimon yeah, I agree. I just wish it wasn’t so. We all have the same bodily functions and it’s bizarre to me that we live in a society and moment in time where there there is so much shame and embarrassment about them.

Thank you for talking about the other 50% of the climb - getting back down. I love climbing, but especially steep gravel/mtb tracks scare the hell out of me sometimes. In some cases I push the bike down, but you are right, this is sometimes even worse than just going through it.
Yep, can relate. Sometimes I'm like "how the bike is still all in one piece". No shame around hike a bike tho :)

That was a good show. Both interesting and funny at the same time.
I find Zinc oxide cream works well down under, as it is actually used for nappy rash, also helps for hemorrhoids

Hi😀
What do you dig a poop hole with ?
Pants, knickers or thong.which is better.
Under cycling shorts nothing unless you want chafing. The pad is there for a reason. In private wear whatever you like. Just avoid a vpl
Pad in the shorts? Because no padded saddles.it was for comfort.the day's of plastic ? And leather saddles.
