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.

I think we could get rid of most of this stuff without significant blowback if we reduce the speed limits.

    Yep. And the way to actually reduce those speeds (limits) is to physically shape the roads, not post new numbers on the side of them. Just make it infeasible to drive fast. Reduce lane sizes, create visual and physical barriers that make drivers drive "more defensively" (of their own vehicles and safety), physically divide/protect pedestrians and bicycles, eliminate "strodes", etc.
