Marketing designs a bicycle

[[email protected]]

Imagine your ad here:
http://www.google.com/patents?id=qYdBAAAAEBAJ&pg=PP1&dq=623865

Note the bizarre details of the drawing.

The crank has only one arm and pedal.

The front and the rear axles are supported only on the right side.

The radial spokes are wound-up at a tangent angle, front and rear.

The remote steering vaguely resembles real rear-steering tandems of
the era, but it's hard to say why the front seat C6 has been left on
the bicycle, since there are no pedals for the feet, no handlebar for
the hands, and nothing to keep a rider's left leg out of the front
wheel, whose turning mechanism is somewhat mysterious.

Cheers,

Carl Fogel

I am just a little confused about what the relevance of this one?

Is there some lesson here that I am missing (I suspect there is)

Please enlighten me as to how I can use this information to make my life
better or reduce the suffering of others?

Santayana paraphrased: Dave, don't try to patent something like this.
