This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Ignoring lack of parking, slow travel and waste disposal, it's more like 3-6k if you already live on a farm. 5-10k if you board it with someone, and you'll likely need a car to get you to the stables.

A bicycle however...

Believe it or not, riding a horse while drunk is also an offense in many places.

Except you can't drink and ride a bike in many areas. I doubt most cops would enforce it though.

I had a friend back in my younger years who got a drinking and driving ticket on his bicycle. Around 1995.

I was drunk and high out of my gourd one night biking home along Bloor Street and got a ticket for speeding lol. This was maybe 2004. I have thankfully matured since then.

Wow, it's honestly my dream to get a speeding ticket on my bike. I saw my opportunity one day where there was a school zone and a cop, so I pedaled as fast as I could, but still didn't get pulled over. I even bombed down a hill doing almost double the speed limit, and still no ticket.

I'll get it one of these days.

If you do promise to be as incredulous as I was when he gave me the ticket. Like man don't you have better shit to be doing? Let's ignore the fact he thankfully didn't see me kicking rear view mirrors a couple of blocks previous because they were parked in the bike lane.

Jesus Christ I was an ornary youth lol

Oh, I absolutely would be. But you can bet I'm framing that ticket the moment I get home.

good luck, I believe in you. But be careful and wear a helmet for your attempts

You can in Germany. I only once fell into some bushes, but since I could not remember that it does not count.
