Bicycles have improved aerodynamic frames. Different speed settings enable the rider to adjust quickly based on body strength and comfort. Always wear a helmet for protection.

The below are improvements over the years. One thing to remember that a HUGE % of the energy the rider puts into moving forward is used to overcome wind resistance.
In terms of motion….
Lighter overall. Lighter bikes overall, lighter wheels – easier to spin up and keep rolling.
More efficent bearings all around/ wheels cranks, etc.
Better design of frames/bars, etc. Positions the rider better on the bike to convert his energy into forward motion Also – better positions the rider on the bike to cut the wind better – lower rider resistance.
better tires, skinner tires – Less rolling restiance -
