Harry Grant (cyclist)

He also won many races on the continent and held the world paced one-hour record on three occasions.

In July 1932 he made a successful attempt on the world one-hour motor-paced record when, trailed by Vanderstuyft, he covered 52 miles 215 yards.

Twelve hours later this was beaten but Grant recaptured it the following day when he covered 56 miles 929 yards.

[4] In Britain he took the professional one-mile standing start paced record with 1 m 35.8 s.[5] Grant's sponsors included British bicycle makers such as R. O. Harrison and Maurice Selbach.

[8] In the late 1940s, Grant was riding in the colours of the south London Norwood Paragon cycling club at the Herne Hill Velodrome.
