Bincicletosi, the Institute for an Incurable Bicycle Condition
A Spanish mock-medical institute that diagnoses bicycle obsession in eight symptoms and prescribes more riding.
Field notes
The site turns familiar cycling habits into an eight-item clinical questionnaire, then sorts visitors into four escalating grades, from occasional rider to “Mesiánico,” a person who converts everyone around them. Its fake medical apparatus includes an invented professional credential and a prescription for 30 minutes of destinationless riding, monthly night rides, and weekly tire inflation. The page says results are not saved, while the footer explicitly identifies the institute as invented.
