Melbourne poo cyclistAussie police hunt ‘poo cyclist’ who took a dump in Melbourne driveway (+ video)
Police in Melbourne are hunting for a ‘poo cyclist’ who was filmed taking a dump in the driveway of a house in one of the city’s most affluent suburbs – perhaps taking the expression ‘Leaving it out on the road’ a bit too literally.
Footage of the dirty deed, taking from a CCTV camera at the property in Brighton that served as an impromptu public convenience was shared to Reddit.
It showed the woman, wearing a blue cycle helmet, quickly whip down her leggings, do her business, then casually stroll out of the property, stopping briefly outside presumably to retrieve her bike.
“That’s disgusting and also impressive,” said one Reddit user, comparing the speed of the pit stop with that of a Formula 1 crew changing tyres mid-race.
Another said: “No magazines, no phone? I didn’t even know that was possible.”
According to a report on news.com.au, al fresco defecation is a bit of an issue in Melbourne and elsewhere in Australia, with ‘poo joggers’ often singled out as the culprits.
Suspicions that the offender is a turd category racer riding a Scatt or possibly a Merda bike have yet to be confirmed.

That's an 'interesting and brave' repurposing of the word 'highbrow' there.

It's so obvious that was a women having a quick wee!
Poo is a bit of a problem near where I live, the Yorkshire Dale's. That said an awful lot of the public toilets have been shut down. What are people supposed to do when caught short? Maybe take a doggie poo bag, or poo in a river were it can join the rest of the raw sewage.
This is funny shit!
No wipe...?
Taking a wild shit in bibs is a whole other skillset.
Hopefully that involves removing said bibs, to some extent at least....
thinking about having a button up flat sewn into mine for easy access.
Police are acting on information from a stool pigeon.
They've put their number 2 officer on the job, and they're carrying out plans for an emergency evacuation.
What's his clear-up rate?
At least the police have something to go on.
The cyclist is definitely female, you can tell by the blurring and the stance.
A male would stand with their feet further apart, ready to unleash the beast within.
Thank me later Melbourne Police, I've just halved your workload.
He's only a poo cyclist if he can crimp one off while riding a bike.
Can't have been a cyclist - they never wear helmets
Impressively efficient.
sloppy effort IMHO
I didn't expect to see this when I logged on to Road.cc
