The 1898 Humber was built for "paced" bicycle racing on board tracks. The rear rider is more upright, the better to shelter a following, unassisted rider. Formerly, more pacing riders were used. Later, single pacing riders sitting well back on powerful motorcycles, wearing something resembling a leather zoot suit superceded these natty Edwardians.
