    The bicycle has changed quite a bit in the last hundred years. The modern derailleur was introduced in the 1930s. Moving the shifters to the handles was more recent. Clipless pedals and disc brakes were both introduced in the 70s. Carbon fiber frames reduced their weight substantially.

    Their basic shape hasn’t changed much, but everything else has.
