The Checkered Flag Special by Charles Siple
Written and illustrated by Charles Siple, and appearing in the April 1965 Bicycling! Here it appears in the paperback published in 1970 (and reprinted in 1972) titled "The Best of Bicycling!" Edited by Harley M. Leete Published by Pocket Books. My father's idea for his story anticipated today's "mechanical doping" by at least 30 years!
The top and bottom rear derailleurs plainly reveal the whole article to be a joke, but the placement of the motor in the seat tube is uncanny.
