Actually, I think "responsibilities" are very different from "sedentary" and "guts".However the terms "sedentary" and "guts" is nice word for all other responsibilities - family obligations, impact on spouse, financials and career.
The OP is talking about being inspired by a tour of less than a month at 50km per day.Nobody wants to be a burden on society and we all want to contribute to society so free-loading is not an option for many.
Career ending, financial disaster, free loading are extreme responses to such a tour, no?
and when it happens, it happens.
With respect this is likely to see it never happen. It suggests some outside agency will make it happen.
I understand that people have obligations and responsibilities.
Potential bike tourists can also influence those obligations and responsibilities.
If a time arrives when a tour may be possible it is up to the potential tourist to actually make it happen. Tours generally don't occur organically.
I knew a guy in NL with a business in second hand touring bikes, mainly Kogas. Bought with great plans to travel continents. Never got out of NL. Some great bargains.
Lots and lots of people want "it" to happen.
We have to make it happen.
