I strongly agree with you. To patent an idea with no definition of execution seems too broad to me. An easy example is to patent an "opening mechanism that requires force" (door). Yes, that's an idea but can have different wa

It's a bit of both and neither at the same time. Some quotes were taken out of context: "when you come to a fork in the road take it" - both forks lead to his house. He never graduated high school which created interesting di

My reply comment wasn't very detailed and gained some criticism that I understand. You make a valid point "... implying that drivers have less need to perceive small bikes...or other cars, apparently." As I stated above, but

I agree with you, and I wasn't referring to ear piercing noise of modified bikes. However, as I answered in a response to one of the other commenters, sound is an essential element in bringing awareness to yourself. `All my bikes are q

Well, given that it's hard to get sarcasm across via text, I did acknowledge that your comment could have been "tongue in check"...but you downvoted me because you didn't understand the reference? Oh well.

It is my belief that Mr. Emerson's essay was more about being the best version of yourself you can be. Yes, someone has to mend your shoes and bake bread, however, if that's your profession, you should strive to be the best at the
