Perhaps I misunderstood, but how can cycling across North America be just transportation and not a hobby? Would you have used, say, a car instead if you had one?

There are many shades of bike nerd, but in my eyes those demonstratively rejecting the tech side don't qualify any less. Take Sheldon Brown for example, he sure would have nerded with the best of them, and tech-rejected with the best of those as well.

I wanted to go on holiday to places I had never visited before, and places where public transport does not go, so I just got on my bike and went there. I don't own a car, but even if I did I don't think it would have been able to take me to all of the places a bike did. Still, at the core my hobby is traveling, not cycling.
