As a serious cyclist, I would love to find out what bike the lad is holding. The wider variant of a North Road handlebar is distinctive, but that may not mean much, it could have been a later addition. The saddle is possibly a Brooks (because the shape is right, and because I am rather partial to them, LOL). The white, oval headbadge suggests it might be a Schwinn, although it is hard to see any writing.

That's my standard equipment in spring and early fall. I have several of these beauties.

I follow Charlotte, pictures above, on IG. She sports a lot of tweed!

An interesting photo, for sure, but what's with the whip? It appears a bit much for motivating the horse....just seems out of place. Perhaps exchange it for a crop?

I believe that she is probably a 'whipper -in' or assistant to the master of foxes who uses the whip to control the hound pack and make sure it doesn't go off chasing rabbits, deer, etc.

Thank you for clarrifying that point regarding her role in the hunt. Having never actually been on a fox hunt, I have much to learn of the sport.

All I really know about foxhunting is that it's a great way to get killed!

Oldsarge is correct. The whip is for whipping in the hounds.

Yes, but wasn’t it considered bad luck after Jim Clark’s death?

As the #1 car he was driving in his final race was red, I haven’t a scooby as to why that would be.

Helmet color?

Actually BRG is still good for British racers but it's been considered unlucky for American drivers for a long time now. An American was killed in a crash in a BRG car and no national or international driving American has done it since supposedly.
