What has improved in cycling?

Just a fun post for a Friday and don't flame me for talking about the difference between C&V bikes and new bikes but wanted to post the things I am thankful for in new bike technology:
  • Soft, padded grip tape - how did we ride back in the day with slippery, shiny non absorbent bar tape?
  • Brifters - gotta admit, they are way more convenient than using down tube shifters.

What are your you thankful for with new bike technology?
