Horsecycle: An Essay

A preface explains the scope of the work. Chapter 1 proposes options for power train: cross-trainer locomotion, pedals with or without boots, treadmills, feet on ground around housing. I discuss housing and note that housing reduces the length of the vehicle when housing surrounds the animal, especially useful in the city. I discuss dung collection within the vehicle, its treatment and how this self-collection ameliorates filth problems associated with animal dung. Chapter 2 discusses dogcycles as useful transport as well as other possible animals. Chapter 3 briefly discusses the scope of the work in utilization of the technology across the spectrum of human activity: farming, military, transport, construction. It suggests people with horse expertise and money might enjoy attempting to build the horsecycle.
