Open source transportation

Lifted from the Salvagetti site, which means that Scott probably wrote it: 

"BIKES ARE A WORLD WIDE PROJECT. A TRUE COOPERATIVE MOVEMENT.

Think of that. Bikes have been designed in most countries of the world. And the end goal that all of these countries are working on is the perfect bike. Everyone is experimenting and sharing and learning and growing. The only other example we have thought of is LINUX... "

This is a fascinating connection that I had not to date made. I am a big Linux enthusiast, and I am a big bicycle enthusiast. I had not considered bicycling "open source" transportation until now, but now that I think about it, it definitely makes sense.

I will continue to meditate on this.
