Bar mural with tandem bicycle racer, Els Quatre Gats (artist = Ramon Casas)

One of Europe's favorite sports is bicycle riding. The Catalan inscription reads, "To pedal a bike you can't sit upright." The implication is that the person who's bent over (the artist himself) is the one doing all the work, while the one sitting up straight is just going along for the ride.
