Cycling at Herne Hill, London, Saturday 23rd July 1955. National Championship, Track, Sprint, Amateurs, Great Britain Our picture captures a thrilling moment in the world of cycling as D Skene from the RAF Cycling Association emerges victorious in his heat against B Laughton from Catford Cycling Club. The year is 1955 and the atmosphere at Herne Hill Velodrome is electric with anticipation. In this photograph by Dennis Rowe, we are transported back to a time when cycling was not just a sport but a way of life for many. The velodrome stands tall in the background as these two talented riders battle it out on the track. Skene's determination is evident as he leans forward on his bike, pushing himself to reach new speeds. Laughton puts up an impressive fight but ultimately falls short against Skene's skill and expertise. The image perfectly encapsulates the action-packed nature of track cycling in the mid-20th century. It serves as a reminder of the passion and dedication that athletes like Skene brought to their craft. This print from Memory Lane Prints allows us to relive this historic moment in British cycling history. It is not just a snapshot frozen in time; it represents an era where sportsmanship and competition reigned supreme.
