Trek "Transport" $1,320

[Trek420]

Ah, a lecture remembered from art school. There are those who continually stretch the boundaries; the first abstracts, the first impressionists, the first person to figure out "hey! perspective! I can make this flat paper look 3d!" and then there are those who follow behind.

Sometimes the folks who follow are equally good, perfecting aspects of the original genre. Sometimes not

Same in bikes; Surly and extracycle make great cargo bikes, G. Terry made the first bikes just for women, Susan and Title9 early companies that catered to women athletes ... others pile on the bandwagon. And so it goes.

There are always people who innovate and others copy. Sometimes the copy ads value to the idea; prints make art accessible, Trek makes cargo bikes popolar. More bikes more better.

I think it's always an advantage to be "the first" but what do I know about business. I'm just an art major

This makes me think of bsny's article
