What to you in your oppinion is the best advancement in cycling ?
For me, it is the LED light, at last bright lights that don't cost the earth to run, although when they came out, my first ever Cateye, there was a lot in the cycling press about what the law says about cycle lights, and how one could be stopped for displaying the wrong kind of light. To me this was plain stupid, as to be stopped with the wrong kind of light told me the light was noticeable enuf for the rider to be stopped, a step in the right direction though unlawful, which was complete crap.
Anyways, now we have the Ledlenser, that is powerful and with about fifty hours constant burn, so economical. The temptation now, is to angle the light to eye view to dazzle the bloody cars for a change.
