Beryl Burton (1937-1996)
Beryl was a racing cyclist
The mistress of chain and sprocket
A national time trial heroine
She was in nobody's pocket
Like Dorothy Hyman from Cudworth
The girl from Leeds was undersold
London media ignored her
The BBC kept her in the cold
Today she would be lauded
Her talent would make a million
Sponsors would lionise her
Radiant on that golden pillion
