List of Members 2 HISTORY OF THE HEREFORD AND DISTRICT WHEELERS CYCLING CLUB Early Cycling in Herefordshire Although there is general agreement that the design of today’s bicycle is little different to some produced in the latter stages of the 19th century, there are many competitors claiming the final definition of what was called the safety machine. John Kemp Starley (1854-1901) was certainly in the forefront of these. By 1885 he had established the Rover – a triangular frame, 36 inch wheel at the front, 30 inch in the rear and a chain drive from a chain wheel to the rear hub. In September 1885 George Smith rode 100 miles in a little over seven hours five minutes on this bike. In the 1890s Starley established the Rover Cycle Company – the ancestor of the Rover Car Company. So our sport goes back a long way. Towards the end of the century cycle racing had become popular. The picture shows three racing machines on Edgar Street Football Ground (with Conningsby Hospital in the background) circa 1895; a Raleigh the mount of Edward Howell, the Raleigh agent for many years in Commercial Road; Harry Matthews with a R.

Lord Darnley died last June after many years of being our Chairman. Since then two early trustees have also died, Sir John Cotterell who was appointed in 1970 and Henry Moore who was appointed in 1976. We look back on their time with the Trust with much gratitude and affection and hope that we, as their successors, can continue their work into the future in a grant-giving environment which is constantly changing. It was only in the mid 1970s that interest was taken by government in the repair of churches.
