Well Maybe Windows is Bearable ! Unix Rules !
I was meeting a group for a ride, and in the lot and one of the guys was getting ready I saw him put on deodorant. when I go out to ride , I plan on sweating and and sweating a lot ! deodorant is not something I think about , now after the Ride yes, but not before.

Depends on the ride, if the ride is long enough to where I'm going to smell myself 3/4 the way in then yes, otherwise, No. And never a shower before hand

surely you must be joking.....

I have gone 19 days on backpacking trips into the desert and not done anything more than brush my teeth....granted I looked like Charles Manson and smelled Like a 2 week old dead deer afterwards

but worry about a little stank from a ride. never

Hell even my wife wouldn't put on deodorant pre ride

Funny. I expect to get all funky when riding my bike. Not seeing the point of putting on deodorant until after the post-ride shower. Buddy and I invited a shop rat to go on a ride with us once and his response was "Yeah I'd take the Stinky out and ride with you guys but I haven't showered today." :rofl:

Cologne??? before a ride??? Are you sure it isn't perfume, and are you sure that thing between your legs actually goes in instead of out???

Sarcasm called and said it wants whatever was sent to you, back. Clearly there was a receiving issue.

Depends. If it is going to be a long ride and my pads, pack, etc smell then I try and keep the stink down as much as possible. I've been behind stinky riders before and I don't want to do that to someone else.

Stinking is half the fun of riding! Who's never said 'Aww man, *sniff sniff*, aww sh!t, you've got to smell these pads'? You know it's gonna stank but you do it anyway. :)

I started to recently because I kept smelling a pretty foul funk, but couldn't figure out what it was from. Then realized it was the shoulder straps on my camelbak where they go up under my pits. I had to wash the camelbak multiple times to get the stench out, so now I do try to remember to put some on before I go for a ride, because that was pretty nasty.

my pits can ruin a small village, so sometimes i'll throw some anti-pit-smell-stuff on pre-ride if its one of those mornings where i am particularly pungent. it can be so bad that people have smelt me pre-race standing around in the pack and have commented. even while riding behind me they have picked up the scent and said something.

as i have gotten older, its calmed down quite a bit.

but i still smellz like perfection.

Not wearing any deodorant can motivate people to ride harder. If the Smelly Hippy is in the lead, Most people will do what they can to pass him.

HECK no...

Most of our rides are early in the morning so I roll outa bed, drink some coffee, maybe eat a banana and go!! Even if we are riding later in the day I won't put on deodorant. All that flower/perfume smell is like applying on anti-"off". In other words it is like ringing the dinner bell for any bug in a 100 yard/meter radius.
