Robert "Bob" John Maitland (31 March 1924 – 26 August 2010) was a British
racing cyclist. He won national championships in Britain, tackled long-distance records, was the best-placed British rider in the 1948 Olympic road race, and rode for Britain in the
Tour de France. His career coincided with a civil war within British cycling as two organisations, the
National Cyclists Union and the
British League of Racing Cyclists, fought for the future of road racing.
