Sounds logical to me since you enjoy getting out and are able to enjoy the drive and scenery; cathartic. I always carry a road and off-road bike (also have spares at the destination) on my drives (+1200 miles) to take a break from driving, stretch the legs and enjoy the area in a more intimate manner. I drive a mini cooper so not much extra room to load up roadside/yardsale treasures (I can fit 3 complete bikes; yea, verily!)
