Slow Travel vs. Fast Travel: Why Cycling Beats a Scooter (Tampin to Melaka - Malaysia)

Is slow travel better than fast travel? In this episode of my cycling journey around Malaysia, I trade the remote mountains for the historic coast, riding 45km from the small town of Tampin to the legendary city of Melaka (Malacca). But this isn't just a bike ride. Along the way, I get into the pros and cons of traveling by bicycle vs. motorcycle, and why covering less ground might actually help you see more. I also stumble into a fascinating local factory making faux stone columns, nearly lose my hat crossing Malaysian highways, and find salvation from the brutal heat with not one, but TWO incredible drinks: a brown sugar coconut shake and a pure avocado smoothie. Plus, I finally arrive in Melaka, reflect on how travel has changed since the 1990s, and deal with the never-ending chaos of GoPro batteries, broken kickstands, and screws falling out of my "tough" laptop.
