I disagree. Photography has been an integral part of all my activities since I was a kid when my dad used to let me run around with his Leica IIIf. I also had access to his darkroom. I have taken photos in every activity I've ever done, including parachuting, mountaineering, rock climbing, canoeing, flying, work, as well as cycling. Most of these activities do not allow "undivided" attention for photography. I may not be a great photographer, but I have been very competent in my other activities; and every once in awhile I do get a good picture. There are about as many ways to bike tour as there are bike tourists, and there is not a wrong way.
