Dirt biking is incredible fun, but it doesn't give you the same exercise as a pushbike. As I age I am becoming more exercise-focused so want to try touring on a bicycle.

And as you alluded to in your blog, there are some obstacles even a dirt bike can't get around that a bicycle can. Mind you, dirt bikes are probably funner when you do encounter and overcome an incredibly hard incline, boulder, mud bog or whatnot. But you zoom through villages before you even notice them; and you always have to be on the look-out for chickens, naked kids, cows, or whatever local hazard your country of choice specialises in.

In Australia you don't have those problems as much ... and I agree, if you're going to cross the Nullarbor it's going to be much more enjoyable on a dirt bike.
