Default changing into/out of what you wear for biking

When you are driving to a trailhrad which has not facilities (washrooms,
changerooms...) and it is over a 1/2 hr away, where do you change? at home?
use a towel/blanket?.....

Thanks,

Micheal

In my SUV. The tinted windows are nice and dark and I'm short enough to
lay out on the back seat.

Would a blanket sure the same purpose in a car without tinted windows?

Would most people even care?

Laugh all you want, but this works great; go to a secondhand store or
yard sale and find a nice colorfull full length womans skirt with an
elastic waist band, keep it in your gear bag/car. just slip into the
skirt, slip out of your street clothes and into riding clothes, repeat
process after ride. and don't forget to remove the skirt after the
change is made.

Per Coyoteboy:
who gives a damn if you get seen?


You should.

People get offended, then they note what category of user you fall into, then
they complain to somebody, and the you're one step closer to the "No [whatever]
Allowed In This Area" signs.

I've used the changing kilt when I was in Idaho and changed to a bathing
suit for the hot springs. It works great as well and it's a kilt (men's
dress).

Standing behind the car - who gives a damn if you get seen? I use the
same technique at the beach when getting into and out of my
kitesurfing kit.


All it takes is one complainant and/or one zealous law enforcement person,
and you're charged with indecent exposure or some such crime. Next stop,
Registered Sex Offender. (As told to me by someone who /said/ he was
so-warned after letting his ass hang out while changing after a ride.)

My truck has 4 doors and in-between opened doors is an instant
changing room. Besides, B.I.B. is nice after a long ride to let the
boys air out a bit.
