Charley Barden
Charley Barden (1874-1962) was a British cyclist whose fame and looks led to his being mobbed wherever he went.〔http://cyclinghistory.blogspot.com/〕 He twice came second in the world professional sprint championship and held the English title and several records. His career was ruined after he alleged that other riders rode dangerously and killed another rider.
==Background==
Charley Barden was born in Canterbury in 1874. In 1881, he was living in the Brough of Chelsea and in 1891, in Kensal Rise. (Census) He may have grown up in the riverside town of Maldon, Essex.〔()〕 He started racing when he was 14 and moved to London. There he joined the Polytechnic cycling club in the city centre, making friends with one of the stars of the day, Bert Harris of Leicester. The two eventually toured Europe together to ride tournaments.〔http://www.leicester.gov.uk/EasySite/lib/serveDocument.asp?doc=120572&pgid=7010 -

A year later Barden moved to the club at Catford, then in countryside south of the city. The Catford club held races in the streets of the village and built a track reputed to be the fastest in Europe. It was there that Barden's talent was notice and developed.
