"The city needs a car like a fish needs a bicycle"
- Dean Kamen
About this Quote
This quote by developer Dean Kamen is a creative way of expressing the idea that something is unneeded or irrelevant. By comparing a city's need for a car to a fish's need for a bike, Kamen is highlighting the absurdity of the circumstance. Just as a fish has no usage for a bicycle, a city does not genuinely need a cars and truck to function. This statement likewise talks to the growing concern of over-reliance on cars in urban areas, and the need for alternative modes of transportation. In general, Kamen's quote acts as a reminder to question the important things we believe we require and to think about alternative solutions.
