GeneticBlueprint Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I only know the basics of investing. Can somebody tell me how to bet that something will fail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazatron Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 If it’s not publicly traded, can’t really bet against it. i will say, if there was one city in the world where this could have even the slightest possibility of working, it would be SF.

LazyPiranha Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Have these people been to San Francisco? You couldn't pay me to try and go down some of those hills on a pogo stick. I wonder if there's just a hidden webcam in all of them and their real business is monetizing epic fail videos of tech bros eating shit on youtube. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexy_shapiro Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Renting out unicycles would be much practical than this, and is still not be very practical at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 At least it would be harder to use while drunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Imagine jumping along on a pogo stick and hitting a slippery spot(aka shit on the ground) then having the stick whip out from under you as you fall on your back. No thanks lol. Rather take my chances on a scooter. Glad I don't have to worry about either though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No webcam, just a speaker blaring this on loop while you ride: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkableriots Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 We had Lime bikes from a San Francisco start up here in Reno/Sparks but that only lasted a couple years. Both cities decided to not renew the contract for the bikes. People were leaving the bikes everywhere like up trees and in elevators which was annoying.
