I assume we all rate the modern bicycle as one of man's greatest inventions, but what of other more mundane everyday things that have elegant simplicity and perform beautifully.

I was pondering this wider question as I used one of my favourite of man-made designs...
The Kick-step.

OK Hilldoger :laugh:....please correct me... (I'm no expert on the development of the bicycle)
I guess it's the Safety bicycle and onwards that I was thinking of, the direct ancestor of our present designs...

1st. The atom bomb.

2nd Handlebar end plugs.

3rd Mini skirts.

2 and 3 are good...but the atom-bomb is not very "every-day" in the way that the Stanley-knife and Velcro are...

Pies on the other hand...:ohmy:
