In the old days when I was skint and rode my old 26" singlepeed MTB on slicks around town, I would sometimes resort to a similar position on the long drags down Kennington Pk Rd and suchlike. Clearances were so huge you could grasp the (rigid)fork legs quite firmly and you went noticably faster. You couldn't do it after a big curry though.
