So, in the modern world, in some places where people still use horses for normal life (certain remote places) people are actually replacing horses with cars/motorbikes because motorbikes are cheaper to own. The horse you have to feed all year round.
Also of course bikes are also a lot faster, you can park them somewhere and not think about sending them off to graze, and they’re (for the places I know) a status symbol too. That’s not to say they don’t have their downsides, including broken bike frames now rusting across the landscape.
Feels sad to me, but I understand it from the people’s point of view: getting whatever’s best in the now to help their day to day life and economic situation.
