Just added to 1902, loads of good stuff including reports from the Paris-Vienna Great Race (the motor-bicycles did remarkably well), the Westerham Hill-Climb, notes on upgrading a 1900 front-wheel-drive Werner and a first-hand account of the first motor-bicycle run from Land’s End to John o’Groats (which has joined the rest of the E2E and round-the-coast yarns in the 1911 features section). Ixion reckoned this run, by MCC Captain EH Arnott, was the most impressive of them all; It’s a ripping yarn. You’ll also find some Stateside bikes you’ve never heard of and an editorial pointing out that motorbikes are the safest vehicles on the road…and this cartoon, which rings horribly true today.
