The Moustache Gain Effect

February 18, 2019 / Microblog / By
A man leaning over the handle bars on the left is slightly out of focus. We cannot see his bike except for the handle bars. He is in an orange, black, and white human powered racing triathlon suit, and has orange sunglasses and a black helmet. He also has a large white moustache. The background looks like a grey road with green shrubs on the side, but it is very out of focus.

The science of aerodynamics has proven that having a moustache can add 9.78 seconds to your bike spilt on a 20km course. But hey, science always changes, race photos are forever.
