Maybe Step Off The Trail

I was running the other day on a trail behind our house. As I was running, I saw a man and a woman ahead on the trail. They were bicyclists; the woman was still on her bike, and the man was standing on the edge of the trail. As I got closer, I noticed the man walking over to his bike as he zipped up his pants. It seemed odd that he would just stand on the trail and pee. Sure, plenty of guys pull off to the side like that, but why not find some cover? By the time I got to them, they both realized that I had seen what was going on, and they were obviously a little embarrassed. The woman gave me a sort of half-smile with downcast eyes, and the guy also half-smiled. He made eye contact and chuckled a bit though. It was a strange and kind of awkward encounter.
