Abstract

This paper is based on my presentation at the MRC’s 50th anniversary conference. Firstly, it gives an overview of my book, Cycling and the British: A Modern History, which was published in 2021, and was heavily based on the MRC’s National Cycle Archive. Secondly, the paper provides examples of some of the key records used in the book.
