For ones like that, I tend to wait until later in the evening or do them at night on weekends, although that doesn't always work.
I got some weird looks when I was standing in the middle of a roundabout at 12:30 AM looking for a cache.
Sometimes I may do a "slow walk" to see if I can spot it and then go back later and retrieve it.
I've only done solo caching so far and sometimes you do stand out.
The more you get into caching, you'll find ways to get a cache without looking suspicious.
One tip that was passed on to me was the "pretend you are tying your shoelace" trick while retrieving guardrail cache (for example).
Yeah that's what I did for one of them. I just passed by on my bike slowly trying to decide if I should stop to look for it or not. Decided not to because there were a few cars passing by and there was someone across the street tending to her font yard. I imagine going with someone else would seem a lot less suspicious but for now I'm just going to have to go at night, thanks.
