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.
