I couldn't resist a simple post of this image of solo-velodrome--a curious bit for one rider held by one person.  The "held" part is certainly unusual and very ambitious, the thing being designed for high amusement--it appeared as part of a show at the Dresden Victoria Salon,  and was published in the August 8, 1903 issue of Scientific American.
