Cycling in India developed through clubs and regional associations during the early and mid twentieth century, with riders competing in track and road events at national meets. Indian cyclists of this era often emerged from city-based cycling clubs and competed under the umbrella of the Cycling Federation of India, which has governed the sport at the national level since its formation.
Bapoo Malcolm Sr. is identified in records of Indian sportspersons as a cyclist. The suffix "Sr." indicates that he is distinguished from a later family member of the same name active in a related context.
