I ended up hitch hiking a lot to get out of the buses and trains. Loved it.

The problem I now find with backpacking is that I'm now finding it boring. Just walking around looking at things, eating, drinking. Riding a bike gives you the action of finding an awesome challenging dirt road with maybe a magic camping spot at the end. But with that it's each to their own.

It's not that I couldn't... It's just that it was really hard to make the effort.

But like you said, the bike gives you sooo many more options and the ability to be spontaneous.

Hitch hiking is something I need to try one day though. :thumbup1:
