A cross country trip in a velo with 500W for the hills and no cars to run me over would be great. There are some rather indirect trails around me that are really nice out to about 300km, but they stop just short of the most interesting destinations. If the extra 40% or so vs a velo or 25% vs a LEV of time on a very long trip matters then it sounds like a high speed train would save significantly more. Either option sounds better than a car which might travel slower than a velo's average unassisted speed due to traffic so you have to budget the time anyway and then be stressed the whole way.
