Oh, and don't forget: backpacking's far cheaper and much more carefree too:

On the first point, Mark, is that I have to go to a place to make my own mind up. The bike just gives people a quick out if it's crud, which makes for a more dynamic and less emotionally tiring trip.
If just travelling in one country it is my experience that I spend about the same either backpacking or bikepacking (try and get a single room in the touro hotspots!) I have stayed at farms, homes even stick-made fishing huts on beaches, all a world away from the general backpacker trail. It may be elitist but I don't think so. For an old jaded backpacker as myself I am so happy that bikes have given my adventuring a new lease of life.
