Stuff as basic as a bike doesn't need an engine if
you've got legs. A bicycle is almost the most
efficient method of using human power for propulsion.

They are contemporaneous with their odd timewarp existence. I agree that
using OSB seems to be in direct conflict with their tenets. But I guess
real good quality timber is just too expensive these days.
