Road trips are great, I just prefer to take them by bus.
- Train* when available.
  Bring a bike with you and you can basically go anywhere on your trip
  
  Maybe in Europe or any other country that has a good or decent passenger rail system.
  In America you can't reach a lot of the country by rail and so many things worth seeing aren't reasonably reach with a bike.
  
  you cant even reach nearby tech campuses without a car, and it also a convoluted roads/free way highways in our area. nearby as in 25+miles from a major city, this alone limits people wanting to get into biotech jobs.
