In one of her books Josie Dew tells how she got one down her bra while going downhill fast. I think she had to strip off by the roadside to get it out but I don't remember a mention of a sting.

I had a wasp go down the back of my shirt while on a motorcycle. I also had a large fly (bluebottle) go into the back of my mouth. I couldn't spit it out because it was so far back, so I had to swallow it. Glad it wasn't a wasp because that's likely to be deadly if stung in the throat. Then another time (still on a motorcycle) I left my helmet on the ground next to the bike. While riding home, that evening, my left ear began to tickle. I knew there was something in there so I stopped and removed my helmet. A blonde caterpillar was crawling behind my ear.

Even on a bicycle we almost need something like a gauze mask to keep bugs (wasps?) out of our mouths.
 
picked this guy up on a ride today. despite checking myself a cpl times, once I got home, I felt it crawling on a leg. happy summer!
