Well done on spotting a health and safety feature there, I'm more concerned about her tiger cape thingy getting snagged in the back wheel, she's not even wearing a helmet or a high Vis, this is what gives cyclists a bad name, I've a good mind to give her a damn good talking to...

He doesn't need to be modest. Even I make that list. (where on earth did it come from?)

Her list of acheivements is pretty impressive, some better results than many of the male legends.

The story goes that, later on in life, Harris was riding a local time trial when he went through a red light. A policeman pulled him over and uttered the immortal phrase: "Who do you think you are then? Reg Harris?"

Well, the point was to list those legends that time has forgot, I guess that some of them will be a little obscure, I've found the names put forward so far quite interesting, It would be great to know why the names on offer are considered legends, it can't just be about the number of wins, what about those riders that competed against the odds the ones that were the under dogs but they did it anyway, are there any names that spring to mind, there must be Eddy The Eagle type characters in the cycling world.

That's cos we're only on page 5. The thread is young and time is endless.
Kudos to whoever said Ned Overend. I'll also add John Tomac from the same era and raise the stakes further by suggesting Major Taylor.

He was working as a 'rep' and used to come into a bike shop I worked in - Les West and Hugh Porter were reps to that I met.
