Humber Crank
’ When I was eight or nine years of age, I inherited as a first bicycle, an old, large and solid 3 speed Humber- which was much too big for me- and was significant only because of the crankwheel which struck me as being a beautiful thing. I saw it as a version of men supporting the earth (much like multiple Atlases… Atlii?). I found it described online as the Humber dancing men, and Liz immediately likened to the painting The Dance by Matisse. ’
