A bicycle pump, sure, I can see something happening there... but... a bike?

I wonder if he's banned form being left alone with bikes from now on. Or working with bikes.

So, this man is "caught" in his own room with his own bike doing something naughty, why exactly is this illegal? Bizarre if you ask me, if someone wants to do that why on Earth is it illegal? Anyone know?
The only thing I can think of is exposing his genitals to the cleaners, but it'd be a pretty dodgy argument - in a reasonable legal system they'd have to prove that he was aware of the person knocking on the door, and that he knew that they had both the ability to enter and reasonable grounds to do so. If they're just knocking on the door, he could well have thought it was a friend, family member, etc - someone who wouldn't have a key. If you're half-naked and fucking a bicycle in that situation, keeping quiet and pretending you're not home would probably seem like a damn good idea.
<b>Edit</b>: Just noticed that the article says he "admitted" it (apparently despite earlier "denying the offence"). I'm not entirely sure whether they mean he admitted intentionally exposing his genitals to the cleaners, or simply that he conceded that the events occurred as described in the article. I reckon it still sounds a bit dicey.

If cleaners unlock a door and go into someone's room, they have to expect a chance of naked genitals surely?
I mean you could be a heavy sleeper and in a hot hotel room might sleep / wriggle out of the covers etc.

Yeah, but that doesn't really apply if the person in the room knows that they're about to enter, and still makes no attempt to cover their genitals or tell the cleaners not to open the door.

Or you might have your earplugs in and sleeping mask on and just.. y'know...
Or be dressed as a gimp chained to the wall with everything hanging out. It's really none of anyone's business. I thought that article was a joke at first.

Don't most hostels have communal bedrooms?
