Download your own radical cycling women wallpaper
Published 1 November 2011
This month we're celebrating radical women who've changed the face of cycling – from pioneering sports cyclists, to grandmothers and great-grandmothers who hitched up their skirts and pedalled off on two wheels.
To help you get in the pioneering spirit, we've created computer desktop wallpaper featuring Billie Samuels. Billie's pictured in 1934, just about to start on a ride from Sydney to Melbourne in 1934, during which she hoped to knock three hours off the women's record for the route. She's customised her Malvern Star bicycle with a cuddly koala on the handlebars, which no doubt kept her company on the ride!
The desktop wallpaper is available in the following sizes:
