If I let everyone on my street borrow my bike, can I say "I've democratized my bike"?

  i would say, only if they all get to vote on how/when its used and by whom

    While I am also irked by shifting meanings, I think trying to resist these changes is very Canute-like. https://cdn.digg.com/images/e160ad4bb9c845f894155145539af3df_7e33ab71a7b6497e862fff23bdaa9f2f_1_post.jpeg https://cdn.digg.com/images/e160ad4bb9c845f894155145539af3df...

  If you make lots of bikes available for rent then yes. https://medium.com/the-fourth-wave/the-great-democratization-of-transportation-7687fb3b579c https://medium.com/the-fourth-wave/the-great-democratization...

  Did your bike get liberated from your dictatorship? I don't know. How good did it feel to eat Freedom Fries after 9/11?
