The best invention since 1880
What would you say is the best invention since 1880?
A recent UK national survey produced an overwhelming winner: the bicycle.
Yep, it beat out the transistor, the electromagnetic induction ring, the computer, germ theory, the radio, etc. (Do you think in the US we would even know the significance of the electromagnetic induction ring?).
The bicycle is simple, non-polluting, healthful, and decently fast. Modern versions can handle lots of different terrains. And the best part is, it's a variation on the best invention since the dawn of Homo sapiens: the wheel!
