Bartlett Champion Contest Cycle Cycling Mile

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we find C.H. Bartlett, the British cycle champion of the 1911 50-mile contest, in the midst of his triumphant moment. The image, taken during the height of the cycling craze in the early 20th century, showcases Bartlett's unyielding determination and athletic prowess as he crosses the finish line. The 50-mile contest was a grueling test of endurance and skill, requiring competitors to cover a distance equivalent to over 80 kilometers in a single day. Bartlett's focused expression and powerful pedaling motion convey the immense effort required to complete such a challenging event. The photograph captures the raw energy and excitement of the race, with a large crowd gathered at the finish line, cheering and clapping in appreciation of Bartlett's achievement. Transportation technology was rapidly evolving during this period, and cycling emerged as a popular alternative to horse-drawn carriages and early motor vehicles. The bicycle offered a sense of freedom and independence, making it an attractive mode of transport for many. Cycling contests like the one depicted in this photograph became a source of national pride and excitement, drawing large crowds and generating significant media attention. C.H. Bartlett's victory in the 1911 British 50-mile contest marked a significant milestone in his cycling career. This photograph serves as a testament to his dedication, skill, and the enduring appeal of cycling during a time when it represented the pinnacle of human-powered transportation.
