Ive never heard that cycling can cause constipation. As you know, cyclists have a special diet which includes many healthy ingredients and they have their meals regularly, not to mention large quantities of various liquids. All this, including physical activity, prevents constipation. I think that you probably dont eat enough fiber and dont drink enough water. Try eating more vegetables. Two or three hours before riding take a banana with low fat yoghurt and wholegrain cereal and that will definitely help you regulate your bowel movements. Bear in mind that cycling is a very demanding activity and if you dont drink lots of water, you risk dehydration. If the problem persists, go and see your doctor. But, in my opinion constipation cant be caused by cycling.
