Right, but what if you arrived on a touring bike? I suppose you could leave it in a secure place like a hotel room and use a rental bike to get around but the rental won't necessarily accommodate the items you'll want to have with you like cameras, lenses, art supplies, journals, medicines, first-aid kit, water, or whatever it is you want to have to do what you want to do, and while I don't want to be a bike snob, they won't have the features or components you invested in to have a nice bike to ride.
