The Bike Fall meme, also known as 'Baton roue' or 'Stick in the Wheel,' originated from a webcomic created by artist Archi in 2011. The four-panel illustration depicts a cyclist deliberately inserting a wooden stick into his own front wheel, causing a dramatic crash. In the final frame, the cyclist lies on the ground clutching his leg, blaming a third party for his misfortune despite being the sole cause of the accident. It has since become the internet's primary visual metaphor for illustrating self-inflicted problems and the subsequent refusal to take personal responsibility.
