I find that it makes life slightly more enjoyable.
If I ever come to a point in my life where I can no longer cycle I'm not quite sure what I'll do.

The introduction of a walking route through the islands, from Vatersay in the south to Lews Castle, on the mostly northerly island of Lewis, adds a second string to the Hebridean Way, which already features a 185-mile cycling route.
The Hebridean Way Cycling route was launched in March last year when endurance cyclist and adventurer Mark Beaumont tackled the route in a Hebridean Way Cycling Challenge, completing the journey in just 24 hours.
The routes lead walkers or cyclists through the ever-changing landscapes of the islands of the Outer Hebrides and offer a chance for visitors to immerse themselves in the island experience.

my biggest cycling holiday/adventure regret ever is not taking a photo of 'my' bike on the Isle of Lewis.
i flew in for 5 days, and for 20 quid rented an 18 speed mountain-ish bike. it came with a bungee cord to strap my very small pack on to the pannier rack.i stopped at one point, and bike was locked up next to some 'barra to butt' riders who had every sort of bike bag going. i did not take a photo to compare. argh.
(i'm sure they had a lovely time, and did not end up hanging 90% of their packed clothing off radiators in their hotel room after 6 hrs of rainy biking. i'm also sure they weren't nearly hit by a deer on a logging-type road.)
