Every 1 in 1,000 libertarians seems to realize bicycles are good even according to their principles and then you get a post like this.

If you don't know Hickman, I think he'd best be described as a sort of primitivist-nostalgic liberterian for settler times in the USA. To fulfill his dreams he moved out into the boonies of upstate new york and ever so often hates how it's full of uncultured swine, by his definition.
