What do you consider to be the single most important technological advancement to benefit cycling?
If talking the whole history of cycling, and a fairly wide definition of "technology", then I have to agree with FishFright.
The Safety bicycle gave us the basic shape which is still in use for the majority of bikes today. But do you actually class that as a "technological advanceme

perhaps in the last 50 years then 😅
I agree. I rode a 200 km audax in 2006 and took a huge detour in the Yorkshire Dales when my badly calibrated bike computer led me to take a wrong turn on unmarked roads.For me it's a GPS headunit . Allows to to ride anywhere with preloaded routes no get lost without the hassle of getting the correct maps for each area and carrying them on the ride .
Such a pity that people negate their advantages by over-inflating them! I did it myself yesterday and had to stop to let some air out mid-ride.Air-filled tyres.
