I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter how you travel (1st class/backpack/4x4/weekend breaks/walking/cycling/hiking/biking) or what your reasons are for it, as long as you do it for your own enjoyment/fulfillment.
I think it just eats some people up because they feel that their 'uniqueness' is being eroded. That's for them to deal with, not you.

fair enough. i´d add ''and to no-one´s detriment'' after your word fulfillment, Geoff. sure you'd agree.
i was once in a remote place in australia, difficult to reach by road. as i came over the last hump before the wide, inland river i was looking for, i spied the roof of a houseboat. bugger it.
but their  was cold, i had none and they were willing to share. i wasn´t quite sure whether to see myself as hardcore for having got there alone on a bike, or soft for enjoying the benefits of refrigeration. can anyone help me in this dilemma?
cheers,
andy
