True, thats what makes bike touring appealing, from what i've seen on youtube, you actually see more on a bicycle than you do in a car. I once drove down to Rapid City, South dakota, but Instead of using the Interstate, I used the small highway(single lane) and I saw ghost towns, small villages, met some nice people. So I am sure its similar to bicycling, you get to meet some cool people, see things that would zip by the window and you would never notice if you drove down on the interstate, and the view, I think on a bicycle, you get to see more. Not only that, while on a bicycle, you are not restricted to drive on the highways, but you can ride anywhere, on a trail, on a highway, on a small roads. So I guess I gotta plan for the trip someday, save some money, get a good touring bicycle, get the equipment that I might need and don't have.
