Faster Cycling Positions

Position “Back horizontal” 8% faster Position “Froome” 9% faster Position “Pantani” 14% faster Position “Top tube safe” 17% faster

A four-panel cycling chart shows riders using different body positions on a bicycle, each labeled with an increasing speed advantage. The joke is that the most absurd and unsafe-looking pose, “Top tube safe,” is supposedly the fastest, parodying overconfident cycling performance comparisons. It is shared as a reaction to exaggerated optimization or ridiculous technical advice.
