It is slower than a horse and needs water more often than a horse. It is the 10 speed bike of the 1880's.

30 miles per gallon of water. It holds like 20

>20mph
a thoroughbred horse can run 45+mph and it runs on grass.
Tell me again why this infernal contraption is needed Geoge...

It doesnt shit in the street, its not an anmial, kt doesnt stink or spreadd shitborn diseases

It's highly dangerous. How can an human react in time once these reach 30 mph?

>its not an animal
so what you are saying is it is a machine that needs maintenance and is not self repairing like all living beings are? horses can even produce more horses.
>doesnt stink or spread shitborn diseases
Oh did you already forget that your miracle creation runs on coal and precious fresh water?

You couldnt reach that speed in the 1880s. The roads were too bad. They were unpaved dirt paths or tight city cobblestone parhs designed for horses and carts. Its world record was 12 ,mph

that's pretty gay for the horse

Because coal dust and smoke is so much better George. Call me when you have something that can run on black blood of the earth.
