Basil Bragg, also known as Bill, took up serious cycling in 1919, and the following year was a reserve for the GB road race squad at the Antwerpen Olympics. The son of a former Lord Mayor of Lambeth, Bragg joined the Balham Cycling Club just after the end of World War I and had some impressive handicap and scratch time-trial results in his first season as a competitive racer. After going to the 1920 Olympics as a reserve, he went to the World Championships in Denmark the following year, when he was again a reserve, along with Edward Newell.
After ending his cycling career, Bragg embarked on a new one as a speedway rider with Epping Forest and Stamford Bridge, whose home venue was Chelsea Football Club´s stadium. Bragg quit after a bad accident left him with a damaged leg but he continued as a speedway mechanic and eventually opened his own garage in south-west London. He is believed to have worked on development of the JAP speedway engine in the 1930s.
