The image shows up frequently in Google image searches for Fausto Coppi, particularly on Wordpress websites. One problem is that Wordpress strips out all the metadata in the jpg images so it's difficult to determine the source of this image.

That's Mum on the high seat, my Grandmother standing behind. I don't know if Mum actually mastered the thing or not.

Well, there went another 20 minutes. That was fun...thanks! Pic #3 in the first group, at first I thought it was sabotage, a-la "pump through the spokes" of Breaking Away, then I realized it was probably "lube on the fly". Looks kind of dangerous for both parties, either way.
