How to stop a bike smelling like poop?

    Hi,

    Nope, I’m not joking.

    This is the first winter that I’ve kept up my summer mileage, despite the weather. I’m riding at least every other day doing about 100 miles a week. I go out whatever the weather (unless there’s ice about) and I have mudguards.

    The trouble is, there’s a pig farm on the way out of the village, when it rains the road is covered by all the pig waste that washes straight out the farm onto the road. The local roads are also covered in cow/pig !”£$%^ and might bike stinks of it.

    I wash it every couple rides, but it still smells. Any ideas how to get it smelling better?

    Us cyclists are suckers for spending money new products/gadgets to improve our cycling experience. So, in 2018, watch out for my new range of bike perfumes – just one quick spray over your bike will cover up the smell of pigshit for up to 24 hours!

    I feel like a committee should be set up and a report produced 😉

    Uhm… I’ve never lived in a city. I wasn’t bemoaning the fact there is animal waste on the roads, I don’t particularly mind that, I’m used to it as I’ve always lived in the countryside. I was merely asking if there’s a trick to stop my bike smelling even after cleaning it. But thanks for the comment anyway :p

     

    You’ve always lived in the countryside and are bemoaing animal waste on the road?

    What countryside do you live in? I guess the phonetic kind.

    Nope, I don’t really mind that the roads are pretty bad.

    Was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions of a good type of bike cleaner that gets rid of smell a bit better haha.

    This is the most OTT and spurious connection with the Daily Mail I’ve seen yet. Well done.

    If he soils himself on his rides then the pig shit won’t smell as bad. Cheaper than moving house.

    There must surely be some law

    There must surely be some law that prevents discharge of raw animal waste in this way… can you not complain to the council? (at the risk of angering a farmer in charge of many gallons of pig effluent!)
