Bob Shaver is an attorney with a really interesting blog that contains images that Bob has scanned and cleaned up from a bunch of old bicycle patent drawings. It's fascinating to see just how long ago people were making things like suspension systems. You can see the blog here:http://patentpending.blogs.com/patent_pending_blog/bicycle_technology/index.html
Cooooooooool...!
ReplyDeleteIt's also fascinating to think of how long ago people should have STOPPED making suspension systems on 99% of all bikes.
ReplyDeleteJust kidding. Sort of.
If I remember my history right, the first real good suspension was based on 100 yr-old patents. It was turner, I think the patent that everyone else licensed.
