Lovely guy.

This year for Black History Month we have the pleasure of introducing to you cycling Legend Maurice Burton.

Maurice made cycling History in 1974 by becoming Britains first ever black senior champion.

After winning three British Titles and racing at the Commonwealth Games he moved to Belgium where he raced professionally on the six day circuit before moving back to Lambeth to take over De Ver Cycles in Streatham in 1987.

Maurice will be talking about his experiences of professional cycling in the 1970s and 80s and will be interviewed by Lincoln Romain from Brixton cycles before opening questions up to the floor.
