I like it because of the size of some cities, I don't just want to teleport, I want to walk around the city.

Well, it's true that it's fast, but I've seen people IRL run so fast, it takes a while to overtake them on a bike. Some cardio my avatar :P And as I said above, if you don't like it, just right-click and it's done. Maybe there's even a macro to disable it via shortcut, I haven't looked.
