It's not just the fact he's smoking, but that he's perched on top of a tank of Motor Spirit - not petrol or gasoline - but something more like lighter fluid!!!

They were saving film. Freeze frame, shows the same cyclist in each of the sequences, and the camera was turned off for a little more than 3/4s of the lap. Notice the very tall cyclist,,,,almost always drafting at the back. And the different stripedy jerseys on 2 of the cyclist,,,,,, Cheers from the frontier(chicago)

"The size of the crowd shows" that there wasn't a lot to do in Manchester in 1901.

Where in Manchester was this? It's unbelieveable that film from cycling in Manchester in 1901, coincides with the Olympic winning cycling team..trained in Manchester.
