I've never rode a bike before, really, not unless you count the exercise bike at the gym. I had a horse growing up, and tried my friends bike in town, and deemed it to much work and to slow.
But I drive 44 miles round trip to go to work, and haul 1500 lb round bales or 300-400 lbs of horse feed in the box of my pick up. Our pull a horse trailer to haul horses to and from shows, breeders, or trail rides.
Could not imagine riding a bike to check cows out in the pastures, at 2am in the morning. It takes me long enough to check cows in a pick up, couldn't imagine trying to do it on a bike.
Bikes have there place in life, but they will never replace vehicles, not in my world they won't.
