I guess it teaches us that when we are touring to slow down and enjoy the scenery and the people. That's the beauty of traveling the world on a bicycle. With one crank revolution at a time we can focus on the journey rather than the destination.

Very true ....... and you know, the people I've met along the way on my tours and other rides have been one of the best parts. There really are a lot of very nice, friendly, interesting people out there.

Also, by striking up a conversation with the local people, you can learn a lot about the area you are cycling through .... history, geography, biology ... all sorts of things!
