As the resident HN conservative, I wish the GOP would embrace bikes as a symbol of freedom. Cars are NOT tools of freedom - you are at the whim of gigacorporations and authoritarian governments like Iran.
With a bike, you move through the world, on extremely low cost infrastructure, while becoming a Fit Western Man and through Self Reliance. You don't need subsidies, you just need a bit of Strength and Forethought and all those other conservative goals.

Cars are NOT tools of freedom - you are at the whim of gigacorporations and authoritarian governments What you have in the US isn't too far, two parties for the illusion of democracy and a butt load of lobbyists and oligarchs in the back making sure the money printing press keeps on printing for the right people. Conservatism isn't about conserving values or the environment, it's about conserving status and money
