A riding crop would be very welcome. Even moreso - make flight paths much shorter after the first time they are taken.

I have yet to find travel a real issue in Northrend.
I actually welcomed the idea of Cold Weather Flying, as it encouraged players to explore on foot, and as a result I discovered a lot more places than I would have done by just flying at max speed from town to town- many of the quest hubs are slightly away from towns.
It paced levelling quite nicely, and gave me incentive to level my professions as I travelled, rather than saving it up for 80 and burning through the skill points there I was collecting skins and meats as I went from area to area, which meant my leatherworking and cooking went up nicely as I progressed.
The only zones in which I found flying were a great boon were Stormpeaks and Icecrown, which, if done at the intended level (or, as in my case at 80), most players would have had access to their flying mounts anyway, having unlocked the cold weather skill at 77, and earned more than enough gold while levelling.
As for flight paths, I generally find them pretty well spaced, and mostly use them to go afk for a few moments. I wasn't doing large amounts of zone-to-zone travelling while levelling, as the majority of my questing took part in zone I was in, and rarely needed to travel large distances until I moved from hub to hub, with the exception of training, which was easily solved with a quick hearth back to warsong hold and a zep, and once I'd opened the relevant flight paths, a quick hearth back to dalaran and a portal. Compare this to levelling 35-58, where quest lines would have you travelling 3 or 4 times on routes that could take upwards of 10 minutes, just to hand in a single quest and then fly back.
The ONLY real issue I have with travel in Northrend in Wintergrasp. in my humble opinion it's in a damn silly place, and I've ended up flagged and dismounted more times than I can count. But the majority of those times are down to my own stupidity and not watching where I was going.
TL:DR- Man up, nancy. Take your time, and enjoy what you've paid for. This isn't a game for instant gratification.

anyway.. mount speed is not an issue unless you are still flying with 60%...

You don't appear to have read or understand what the OP's issue was. Blizzard said they were removing the riding crop in its current state and looking at ways to
replace
the functionality. They have not done this, and so flying mounts have basically had a nerf to their maximum speed. Absolutely nothing to do with land mounts or cold weather flying whatsoever.
I'd just rather have the old riding crop back until Blizzard figure out a better way to do it.
