I’ve heard it said many times that cycling is the perfect pace at which to explore a country.
Not so fast that you miss the details, but also not so slow that you don’t get that feeling of progress.
I think that nothing brings this home to me so much as the fact that cycling is as fast as I think you can go … and still have time to swerve around slugs and snails.

Now that’s something for you to think about.
