"One of the founders of Bective Rangers Rugby Club, Harvey du Cros was also an Irish boxing and fencing champion, and was a central force in the promotion of cycle racing in the city with many races staged in the Phoenix Park. Along with another Dubliner, John Boyd Dunlop of Simmonscourt, he developed the world’s first pneumatic tyre company, having seen the potential of the invention at a cycling meeting."
