It’s bit confusing. Karrack is the one who’s supposed to be leaving but Umway is the one who’s hopping onto a space-time hover bike filched from Poul Anderson’s Time Patrol.
I always imagined the Poul Anderson time cycles being a lot shorter and motorcycle like. My brain always associated them with the cover art. Personally, I think it looks like something out of Raiden Fighters Jet or the Gradius games.
Yes, you’re right, there are hundreds of cover art renditions of those time cycles (when you count the many foreign language editions with their own original art) and nearly all of them are shorter. http://sf.marseille.mecreant.org/ouvrage/ouv002123.htm

Tomorrow’s comic should make things clearer

The long ones are hard-to-park exceptions.

Those covers bring back memories.
