changing into/out of what you wear for biking

No, but apparently we have to be super careful so as not to offend those who
cant deal with seeing the human body! Maybe we should start making our dogs
wear shorts to cover their genitals too - after all they must offend
someone too?! :)

Dogging?

I don't think I've ever seen that one before when going through my
British soliloquies dictionary. I'm sure it means what I am thinking it
means, but one never knows.

And I thought the Aussies had some nasty double entendres.

I just try and not look like a exhibitionist and leave it at that.
I usually stand on the other side of my car from traffic, and if there
are a lot of people around I'll even open one of the doors to be a
little more discrete. IMO it shouldn't be an issue for people if someone
happens to be changing (and not flaunting themselves) and they catch a
glimpse, but apparently it is.
My bro and I had a run-in with the law once when getting on the river.
He was in mid-change and a school bus came and stopped right next to us.
It was definitely a case of poor timing, and boy the police take that
(too) seriously! Now they have a better put-in there that's not right on
the street.

Actually since the vast majority of my riding starts at home, I change
where I usually do. In my bedroom.

It's not a question of pathetic or non-pathetic. It's a real-world question of
people complaining to The Powers That Be and putting one more nail in our little
group's site access coffin. Whether one likes it or not, one still needs to
deal with the reality.

I reject your reality and substitute my own :) In seriousness ive never
needed to even think about it - I dont ride in places that are overly
public (parks etc) and the car parks tend to be shielded and full of other
bikers doing similar things. On the beach I dont care (mainly because the
beach is actually an official naturist zone, but few know that) but I have
been approached by an older woman offering to bring her grandaughter to
meet me, which was more disturbing for me than the sight of me butt naked
was to her obviously! I can see your point about it adding a nail, but IME
this just isnt the case. Those who tend to frequent those areas expect that
behaviour, im far from alone in my abandonment :)

Same as when windsurfing or kayakbing and changing to/from a wetsuit. Beach
towel wrapped around you. I haven't been arrested yet.

Somewhat related story from a buddy many years ago.

He was at a trailhead near a gear swap. He sees a for-sale list taped to
the inside of a guys pickup cab. He wanders over and is peering at the
somewhat faded print through the tinted window glass, shading his eyes in
the bright sun. He hears a "What the f......" and realizes the owner is
inside the cab pulling up his shorts.

Tinted glass can cause a multitude of misunderstandings ;-)
