Wandering and discovery is part of the fun of cycling.
Sounds like fun, and I guess one can never know enough about oyster farming.
Seriously, a car is too limited in where it can go, and goes so fast that you can seriously get lost. When you're walikng, you hate to go more than a mile or two out of your way, because it takes so long to get back again. A bike really has the perfect combination of range, speed and access for peripatetic wandering.
