Earlier this week we looked back at our 12 most popular articles of 2016 and today we remember our top viral cycling social media posts of the year. Mind you, these weren't just popular, they were HUGELY popular, racking up millions and millions of views, likes, and shares. Most of them are quite funny (it's a good thing we can laugh at ourselves), some are shocking, and some inspiring. Even if you've seen them before, we think you'll love seeing them all again.
