Sure, but the land use for donkeys' housing and especially for their food makes it so that it doesn't quite scale. Unlike bicycles.

- paganel 3y agoI don't need scaling, why do we need to "scale" everything? Scaling (and the efficiency that comes with it) is part of the problem, as a matter of fact, it's what normal people actually hate when they see articles about stuff like these bike gizmos, they know that they target scaling- and efficiency-obsessed tech guys, guys that have created much of the problems that most of the normal people are now in. It's the "Google bus guys in San Francisco" situation extended slowly and surely to the whole planet. Normal people hate that simple and enjoyable stuff like bikes were until not that long ago have become a topic of interest for tech-oriented media entities like Ars Technica.
- stinos 3y agoI don't need scaling Well, ok, then I simply misunderstood the intent of your comment. Normal people hate I have no idea where those claims come from, or what you mean with normal people. Source? E.g. wouldn't normal people rather just ignore articles about stuff they do not care about instead of hating it?
- paganel 3y ago> I have no idea where those claims come from, or what you mean with normal people. Source? See the reaction to all those speed limits zones in the UK. Or, more generally, see the reaction to all this ecologist non-sense imposed on us here in the EU from top to down (and being forced to using bikes instead of our cars is part of that process). As a matter of fact just now there are some very angry people throwing stuff at the bureaucrats in Brussels on account of their environment-related nonsense directives.
