Chad,
When I read this post I was reminded of an Ernest Hemingway piece that I came across the other day, so I thought I would share it with you,
"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have ridden through as you gain by riding a bicycle."
– Ernest Hemingway
