Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
Arthur Markham claimed to have won the very first bicycle race ever held in England on Whit Monday, 1868. This claim has been challenged, but there is no question that Markham was a pioneer of cycling and the cycle trade. He had a business at 345 Edgware Road, London (see Bartleet's Bicycle Book, p34).
