This week in cycling history…
- Yvonne Reynder’s birthday is on 4 August. The now 83-year Belgian road and track rider won 13 World Championship medals, including seven gold. Initially retiring in 1967, she came out of retirement at the age of 39 and won the National Road Championships as well as a bronze medal at the World Championships in the road discipline. She started her sporting career in athletics but then switched to cycling, and subsequently became one of the most successful riders during the late 1950s and 1960s. When she started cycling, she needed to build up some strength, and decided to do a coal delivery run where she took bags of coal and delivered them on her specially made transport bike to customers around Antwerp – certainly a unique form of strength training!
