The air filled(pneumatic) tire.
John Boyd Dunlop invented the pneumatic tire for bicycles. He developed this invention in 1888 to provide a smoother ride for his son's bicycle by wrapping a rubber tube filled with air in a fabric casing.
The first verifiable claim for the inventor of the bicycle is Baron Karl von Drais, a civil servant in Germany. His invention was called Laufmaschine, which is German for 'running machine'.
