Career
Lloyd began racing in 1969 and came seventh in the Milk Race and rode in the 1972 Munich Olympics. In 1976 a heart condition forced a three-year break from cycling. In 1984 he returned to the professional sport, and finally retired from cycling two years later.
Lloyd was a framebuilder for 13 years.
Living in south Wirral, he is now a cycling coach and is behind The Dave Lloyd Mega Challenge. In September 2009 he planned to return to amateur road racing by entering the Derby Mercury road race.
Unfortunately one of his athletes had also entered the race, and so decided that he does not want to enter into conflict.
