EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print from 28th February 1952, we see Mr. Gilbert Henry, Secretary of the Highlanders Cycling club at Grimsby proudly showcasing their unique cycling attire. As he states with a smile on his face, they are indeed the only all kilted cycling club in Britain. In an era where traditional kilts were not commonly seen on cyclists, these brave enthusiasts dared to be different. Peddling through the picturesque Lincolnshire countryside, their kilts billow in the wind as they conquer miles upon miles on their trusty bicycles. However, being pioneers comes with its challenges. Mr. Henry humorously mentions that kilts sometimes require adjusting after several hours of pedaling. One can only imagine the comical scenes of these dedicated cyclists making slight adjustments to ensure comfort and modesty during their rides. The photograph captures a moment filled with joy and camaraderie as Mr. Henry stands alongside his fellow young club members – a testament to their shared passion for cycling and Scottish heritage. Their fingerless gloves and ties add a touch of dapper style even amidst the winter chill. This image serves as a delightful reminder of bygone times when individuality was celebrated and unconventional choices were embraced within sporting communities like never before.
