This reminded me of an non-bike-related story, but it deals with trains and, I assume, some embarrassment and it was hilarious. I was on a train in Europe, and I was looking out the window because I was so excited to take in all the scenery when I spotted a man standing at the edge of a treeline. As we approached, I could see he was urinating, but he didn't have any cover from the train and he probably couldn't just stop in the middle of it. So he was just standing there with a panicked look on his face, exposed and immobile. It was so funny because I could see that he just walked a few feet through these trees to have some protection from the town behind him. When he started, there probably wasn't a train in sight, so he thought he was good to go, only to display his junk to an entire train full of people.
