Dave Akam Biography

Dave Akam is one of the most popular and richest Sport Cyclist who was born on November 2, 1960 in Camberwell, England, United Kingdom.

David Akam was a track and road cyclist. He was a time-trial specialist of some repute. He was introduced to cycling by his P.E. teacher at Forest Hill school, South London – the legendary British lanterne rouge John Clarey. Akam’s early successes in cycling included three British National Track Championships and the Junior Individual Time Trial Road Championship. In 1978 Akram was selected for the English track team in the Commonwealth Games in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, competing in the 4,000 metres Individual Pursuit. Having trained for months with the 1980 Olympic pursuit team squad, Akam fractured his hip in a kermesse crash, putting him out of contention. Akam later said he was “incensed” to not even be named as a reserve. However, that July the 19-year-old Akam broke the British 10-mile time trial record becoming the first ever rider to clock in at under 20 minutes (the record has since been held by Graeme Obree, Bradley Wiggins and Alex Dowsett). The same year he also won the Goodwood Classic individual time trial in a time of 1 hour 2 minutes and 39 seconds – a time that has never been beaten.

Over the next three years, from 1981 to 1983, Akam lived and raced abroad, first in the Netherlands for the Jan Van Erp team, and then France, building a reputation as an aggressive rider with a talent for time trialling. In his second year, Akam won 13 races including the Grand Prix de France, a time trial won by such luminaries as Jacques Anquetil, Stephen Roche and Chris Boardman.
