So, I was recently on a train with my bike (the same bike I've had for many a year), when I notice a sticker with a diamond made of 4 squiggles that said "Sun." Closer inspection revealed 'microsystems' below the word 'Sun'. Above the logo were the words "Designed by."

Does this just mean that Sun puts out a bike-designing program, or is there a branch of the software company I was unaware of?

Nah, it's manufactured by Specialized.

But good look nonetheless.

No idea whether Sun makes bicyles but they love to explain inheritance using bicycles.

Well, the link says Specialized with a z. I wrote Specialised from habit.
