"Don't pee here" - A Mallorca restaurant's plea to cyclists
The sign isn't a new one but it is a necessary one. Each year the owners of a restaurant on the Coll de Soller put up a blackboard with a notice asking cyclists not to relieve themselves in the restaurant's grounds.

I’ve witnessed many a Mallorcan (bloke) having a slash by the roadside. They ain’t too discreet about it either, so the cyclists are merely following the “when in Rome” rule. Even saw an old fart who lives around the corner relieve himself in a local hotels planter one evening. The olive tree survived.
We witnessed once cyclists peeing outside the lluc monastery gate. Toilets are right on the other side of the gate - no queue and no fee. I can't but wonder what makes ordinary people change into total cANts once the they have bike seats rammed up their backsides...
Saw this sign once in motel in USA. " There is only one p in our pool"
I had cause to take the pass rather than the tunnel last week and I nearly took out a lycra horde racing down hill towards me, rounding a hairpin banked over at 45° ON MY SIDE. Public peeing aside, they now think these meticulously maintained but little used roads, paid for by our impuesto de circulacion, are a free tourist attraction provided for their entertainment only. How about a cyclist tax along with the tourist one? €20 on every bike shipped by air or rented? Funds used for portaloos and rumble strips.
