Having your bikes with you on a long road trip is great. Back in 2017, my friend and I did a 6000 mile road trip from NJ out to Wyoming to see the eclipse. It was a big loop going through the Dakotas on the way out and Missouri on the way back. Occasionally, we'd find a parking area in a small town, get the bikes and go for a 5 miler. In St. Louis we did a short, but nice ride in Castlewood State Park. In Wooster Ohio, we did a 20 miler - she was familiar with the area. The best use though was in Yellowstone. We wanted to see the "Artists Paintpots," but the line of cars waiting to find a parking spot was so long it was backed up onto the main road. So we continued on down the road, found a pull-off and rode the bikes back a little less than half a mile and around the cars!
