I thought that. He was very resistant.

The very last rider to win a Monument with toe clips and straps.

Eddy Merckx... A man who loved cycling so much he named his son after a bicycle part.,.

I recently inherited my granddad's scrapbook from the late 30s/early WW2 period. It has plenty of photos of motor racing and military aircraft (he was an RAF fitter and a lifelong F1 fan), but also a few pages of cycle racing scraps he collected. This thread seemed like a good spot to post some up, maybe some here can shed a little more light on them.

There are some photos of distance records like Mr Earnshaw below, and a whole bunch of track racing, possibly at Herne Hill. Will post more over the next few days.
