EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant world of cycling in 1950s London. The image captures cyclist Cyril Bardsley, a determined athlete ready to conquer the velodrome at Herne Hill on July 27th, 1953. As he stands confidently beside his racing bike, adorned with Dunlop tires and proudly wearing his Raleigh team jersey, one can sense the anticipation in the air. Surrounded by fellow competitors and enthusiastic spectators, Bardsley's focus is unwavering as he prepares for an exhilarating race ahead. The crystal palace looms majestically in the background, serving as a reminder of both the historical significance and grandeur of this iconic venue. The men gathered here embody not only their love for cycling but also their commitment to pushing boundaries and achieving greatness. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of that era - sporting tops paired with shorts - while protective helmets serve as a testament to evolving safety measures within this thrilling sport. This print from Memory Lane Prints allows us to relive a moment frozen in time; it encapsulates an era when passion for cycling united communities and inspired individuals like Cyril Bardsley to push themselves beyond limits. It serves as a reminder that even decades later, these images continue to evoke nostalgia and admiration for those who paved the way for modern-day cyclists.
