Nitrogen filled tires.

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Nitrogen filled tires.

The only way to go is to create a complete vacuum in your tires for the smoothest ride....wrap your head around that!

Doesn't everyone have this in their saddlebag?

No one said liquid. FLUID, i.e. it flows.
