  Derny Bordeaux-Paris 1938-56
In March 1938, 'Cycling' revealed the Derny machine in the form in which it was to be used into the 1970s on the race, also suggesting that Derny-paced racing at Brooklands would be a good idea.
The fuel is contained in a drum-shaped tank—a Derny trademark—in front of the steering head and the pedal gear is fixed, the Derny rider having to pedal at all times.
The Derny survived the closure of the parent factory, to run on in the Bordeaux-Paris until 1974, by which time the youngest of them was getting on for twenty years of age.

  derny
On a Derny, the driver sits close to the back of the bike in an upright position in order to block the "wind" for the cyclist drafting behind the derny.
In some events, the derny is used to bring the bicycle up to speed at which point the derny "pulls off" and the cyclist continues the race on their own.
The first Dernys were built by Roger Derny and Sons of Paris, France in 1938.

The idea of the Derny was designed and constructed by two French ex-racing cyclists called Roger Derny and Sons.
The Derny brothers’ first factory was at 81, Avenue St. Mande and later they moved to Avenue du General Bizot, both in the French capital.
The Siemon Dernys are used on the road, 6-Days and Keirins by all the pacers on the continent and the UK.

 British Cycling
Well, essentially, motor pacing or Derny racing, as it is known, is a fast and furious form of racing with both rider and pacer working as a team at speeds in excess of 35 mph.
Contact between the pacer and rider is made at the start of the first bend as the pacer drops in front of their allocated rider, and then it is a case of getting the rider over the line in a qualifying position or in the fastest time.
Tucked in behind the derny, the 101 inch gear seemed smooth as my legs turned it over and with the normal bunched nature of track racing combined with the roar of derny engines, just taking part was extremely exciting.

 Daily Peloton - Pro Cycling News
A Derny is a type of motorcycle designed and built specifically for motor-paced track cycling events (eg: motor-paced races in six-day and Keirin racing) or motor-paced road races.
On a Derny, the driver sits close to the back of the bike in an upright (almost standing) position to provide an envelope of low wind resistance for the cyclist 'drafting' or slipstreaming behind.
The event was first run in 1891, and the Derby of the Road (as it was sometimes called) was particularly notable in that riders were 'paced' - allowed to slipstream behind team-mates mounted, in the early events, on tandem bicycles or other conventional cycles.

At the recent European Championships at Newport, the atmosphere was electric in both the European Championships and the Welsh Derny race.
Note: I am reliably informed by a man toting a starting pistol at a Derny race that riders do not need any special accreditation to race in a Derny event (although some practice would be very much recommended!) but the pacers can attain different levels of accreditation.
In Derny events, riders use their normal track bikes, but for motor-pace events (above - the big motors) the riders use a specialised bike, with a smaller front wheel & reverse forks enabling the rider to be nearer to their pacer to gain shelter.

MB: Well, I have been spending a lot of time behind the Derny, trying to find the right gears to use for the record attempt and getting the technique and the confidence to be as close as I can to the motorbike.
On unpaced hour record attempts, you tend to stick on the fl line as much as you can because it is the shortest way around the track and therefore the quickest.
But behind the Derny, you can't actually keep to that line; it is physically impossible because you get compressed in the corners and actually get pushed up the track.

Their is a synch chain running from the donkey back's cranks forward to the penultimate stoker's crankset.
Donkey backs were used primarily around the turn of the century as pacing vehicles (usually quads) for track races (a task later taken over by special motorcycles, such as the Derny).
The donkey-back design placed the rear stoker back over the wheel, to give the racer on the solo the best possible draft.
