Anyone ever tried this position? (In bed or on the bike?)

Can't really see the benefit. Can you explain?

No TT helmet, No skinsuit….hardly aero looks heavy & cumbersome…how to steer & brake

ah yes, the boob scoop. it's obviously a very well known and classic racing position, damn the UCI for banning it (I'm assuming they have).

does seem rather a silly idea doesn't it.

Reminds me of the speed skating position. Hard to hold that position without something to hold onto behind you I imagine, though any aero benefits are out-weighed literally by the extra bars and kit.

She still has a massive frontal area ( careful what I say) facing straight into the wind. It might even be slower than riding on the hoods.
How come it never caught on?

Maybe the benefit is that she can push harder..
The pedals, i mean
