We are the beneficiaries of a long legacy of innovation in bicycle design. Imagine how it must have been in the early days of racing when the bicycles of the champions featured only a single chainring and cog—and yet they climbed mountains!
I ran across this article in my news feed a few months ago, and was amazed to learn about one of the earliest innovations in “derailleur” design. It was both ingenious and jaw-droppingly difficult to operate. Read and be edified.
