Is he right? Is walking the most redpilled form of transportation?

In nature, yes.

I believe Abbey also suggested that all national parks ought to be closed to motorized traffic of all kinds. He imagined something like bikeshare being available at the entrance to parks. (prob. in Desert Solitaire, but it could be in one of his novels, don't recall offhand).

>“No more cars in national parks. Let the people walk. Or ride horses, bicycles, mules, wild pigs--anything--but keep the automobiles and the motorcycles and all their motorized relatives out. We have agreed not to drive our automobiles into cathedrals, concert halls, art museums, legislative assemblies, private bedrooms and the other sanctums of our culture; we should treat our national parks with the same deference, for they, too, are holy places. An increasingly pagan and hedonistic people (thank God!), we are learning finally that the forests and mountains and desert canyons are holier than our churches. Therefore let us behave accordingly.”

Yeah, that's DS. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure the quote about having a fleet of bikes available at each park is in MWG if anyone wants to look it up (book is worth reading regardless)..

If you want to enjoy a place then feel free to walk, that's the same principle behind luxurious cruise ship, transportation is made with skipping the enjoyment for economy in mind.

Woah, this guy is edgy as fuck. No wonder spandexfags like him so much.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"

You just blew national park funding right out of the water, buddy.

Who else finds walking too slow compared to biking ? Though I admit OP's quote is wise, except for the redpill meme

>>1031413
walking is for bums

>>1031413
A critique of the postmodern condition before its time.

In all seriousness, however, spending 27 minutes on this will improve your day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTGKzS2Ntc4

Edward would have liked you.

Biking everywhere has made me an awkward walker

OP I dont think you know what redpilled means.
Its a MGTOW expression and has to do with mens rights.

>>1033999
No, it has to do with the matrix, and seeing reality as it yruly us. The redditurds conflated that notion with sweeping generalizations of women.

>>1032974
Walking is faster than unlocking your bike, getting on your bike, biking, and finding a place to lock your bike.

>>1034092
If your destination is 1 block away, maybe.
And I'd still prefer riding.

Yes the origin is the matrix but modern usage means MGTOW.

Not an argument.

I can't remember the last time I walked, I got an upright folding bike for getting around the inside of house

>>1037423
Do you use it to get to the bathroom too?

I live in a town in North America that developed during the era of commuter rail and trams. It takes me 1 minute to walk to the nearest convenience store.

If I lived in the true burbs I'd never walk anywhere

>>1040171
Yes
Even to get around inside the bathroom.
