Methinks at least for cycling aimlessly abit for a day or so, many of us could / do it spontaneously whereas there are many others that wouldn't.

I've done my risky thing in life already...I voluntarily left a well-paying job, sold my home and moved several thousand kms.to be with my partner several years ago. Had to find a job all over again.. at mid-life it's not as simple..

No, I don't regret it. But this type of major risk taking ...once is enough. But I do envy people who just do it...several times in their life. I do know some friends who have worked for govn't for ages and can/will take a sabbatical.
