There are many county parks I hike at on a regular basis but I still really like biking more. We have a lot of rail trails here in the midwest (IA) so I just head to a rural section and leave my shorts on the handlebars. Most of the time I can see a half mile ahead and if anyone is coming I pull over and jump into the shorts but that has only happened a few times in hundreds of rides. Wife and I used to ride evre sun evening down to a restaurant, eat and head back naked. On a hot summer nite, there's nothing like it.
I also like totally bare hiking (barefoot too) when possible. Beaches are great, and grass also feels good underfoot. But it is more practical to wear shoes or boots, and to carry a bag. I live not far from the previous poster, in Nottinghamshire, and often walk in woodland, where the surface has many hazards for bare feet. So I wear shoes and carry a backpack, which contains my shirt, car keys, watch, phone, towel to sit on, water and food. I usually put my shorts between my back and the pack, so that I can grab them and put them on in seconds if necessary.
This is all very practical, but not so aesthetically pleasing. I am not properly naked, and I had not appreciated until I saw photographs of myself in this kit how silly a naked man looks in chunky walking boots. Fortunately, I long ago gave up worrying about my dignity.
