Motorcycle: - long distance trips through N America led me close to a ton of wildlife I would not have seen or dared come close to on bicycle. Mama bears with curious cubs, moose drinking water by the roadside, wolves in one case - allowed me to tackle trails in a day I would not be able to do on a mountain bike (eg. the trails around Moab) - ability to go on roads Bikes are not legal (crossing the confederation bridge to get to PEI; don’t think bikes are allowed) - ability to traverse distances equivalent to a car, but while feeling much more connected to your surroundings. Helps when you only have so much vacation time you can take. Bicycle: - much more enjoyable trips through Toronto via routes not possible on motorcycle (parks, ravines, etc.) - many trails do not allow motorcycles but allow mountain bikes - allowed a limited freedom at a young age to explore the city around me - the wonderful post exercise feeling
