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
