Bikes are absolutely not too fast to interact with people, depending on the
ride I’d have a possibility of encountering dog or otherwise walkers, Horse
riders, other cyclists.

Mr. Tricycle does have a strange notion about bicycling interfering with

It's trivially easy to stop for conversation, or slow to someone's

not at all unusual.

Meeting people standing at the door to their shop and being invited
in? Stopping to taste and perhaps buy a little treat? Handing your
camera to someone to post a picture of yourself and their spouse or
child? ...or perhaps a picture of you and whoever you were walking
with?

No, that wouldn't work very well on a bicycle on a busy, noisy street
in say "Grand Cayman." Actually, it wouldn't work very well, anywhere.
