The Winter Bike Rack

Someone found a solution to last year’s buried-bike problem:

winter bike rack

Genius.

I see winter bike commuters every day and I can’t fathom doing it. People can barely drive cars without sliding into each other and I am not going to let some SUV slide into me while I’m showing the world how hardcore I am on my snow-caked bike.

No thank you mam. My bike is busy collecting dust until the big thaw.

    That’s certainly one way of doing it! 🙂

    We just finished reading a case in IP about someone who tried to copyright his bike rack. He said it was a piece of art.

      Doesn’t look that original, did he copyright it?

    He tried to copyright it. The court, using the merger doctrine, said the bike rack couldn’t be copyrighted. He may have had a better shot patenting it, but by that time, it was too late.
