Who the hell even knew the Wright Brothers had a bike shop.

Anyone who has read more than 5 minutes worth of history on the subject of the Wright Brothers.

LOL, that was kind of my first flash of thought...:)

I have always viewed the heated competition between Langley and the Wright Brothers as the epitome of an example of why private industry will always demolish government in a fair fight.

People working with their own money and time (as opposed to those who will get their money from the government to do something, no matter the fashion it is to be wasted) will always achieve a better, more efficient outcome.

I admire the Wright Brothers greatly.

I just found a site that said it was NOT taught in schools. I’m 77...I can attest to that.
