Yes, those are rubber straps pulling against the crank. Since the rear wheel is too light to act as a sufficient flywheel the straps are used to store energy which is used to assist the return of the pistons.
On September 8th 2012 in Tartu, Estonia, there will be a recreation of a very historic event: at the site of Jurjew Bicycle Club velodrome, where in 1895 the earliest recorded motorcycle speed record was set by John Schümann riding a Hildebrand & Wolmüller. Location of earliest recorded speed of a benzene motor. Michael & Tsiklitall
