In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Invisible Bicycles” is a common card of the Memes World series 75, number 22218 of the collection, and the 88th best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Invisible Bicycles” meme mean?
The image conveys immediate visual absurdity. By removing the vehicle while keeping the rider's posture and details like the saddle or shadow, it creates a disconcerting levitation effect. The humor stems from this break with known physical reality. It is a simple visual joke requiring no complex explanation, just the instant recognition of mechanical impossibility.
Where does the “Invisible Bicycles” meme come from?
The concept is directly inspired by the photographic series *Floating* by Chinese artist Zhao Huasen. He photographed cyclists and then digitally edited the images to remove the metal frames, preserving the saddles, body posture, and ground shadows. This technique creates the illusion that people are pedaling in thin air. Although often associated with 2009, sources document the diffusion of these artistic works around May and July 2012. An image linked to the phrase 'Invisible Bike' was referenced on Know Your Meme on September 7, 2009, marking its early online presence but not confirming the origin of the initial artistic project.
