The Invisible Bike meme is a classic internet trope that involves photoshopping or captioning images where individuals—often cats or people captured mid-action—appear to be in a seated, pedaling position without an actual bicycle beneath them. Emerging during the golden era of LOLcats and imageboards like 4chan in the mid-2000s, it typically features captions in white Impact font. The meme relies on the physical comedy of the floating posture and is frequently used to mock awkward poses or to add a surreal, playful layer to sports photography and animal snapshots.
