Frank Grose was a road and track cyclist who competed at both the London 1934 and Sydney 1938 British Empire Games.
In 1928 while in a training race with three other cyclists, they all crashed and Grose was seriously injured, breaking his pelvic bone and chipping his hip bone. While he overcame medical advice that his cycling career was ended, he was out of consideration for the Amsterdam 1928 Olympic Games.
Making a great recovery, Frank was selected for the 1934 British Empire Games in London, competing in the 10 mile scratch race, 1 km time trial and 1000 yard championship; finishing fourth in each event. Four years later at the 1938 British Empire Games in Sydney, he competed in the 100 km road race but was forced to withdraw because of equipment failure. He was captain of the cycling team.
