..........just say for a minute that I had designed a new bike transmission system and gear changer which weighed less than the existing, had an order of magnitude fewer moving parts, had no idler wheels or other chain tensioning, provided ratios of between 1: 5.3 and 1: 0.7, was continually variable, cheaper to manufacture than the existing, only needed one control lever (it might even be automated), required less space between wheel and stays than a 3 speed, and could change gears whilst stationary......just for argument's sake. What should I do next?
Hypothetically speaking.......

Crowd fund, prototype & patent.
Presumably not in that order......

Aye, get the design protected. Patented I guess. If you have developed such a thing, damn good luck to you Sir.
Bloody hell, you're back! Erm, welcome, or something.

Ah, it was nothing. Just a bit of amnesia...
Indeed, patent would be first, but a good patent agent that would help you draft a good solid patent application won't be cheap.

Be careful what you say and who you say it to! Not just because someone might pinch your idea, but also because I think prior disclosure can affect your chances of being granted a patent.
