Bev MayBev first became interested in cycling in 1958 when her brother took up the sport.There had been women cyclist’s before Bev but they had never been allowed to ridewith the men. This all changed when Bev got her chance to show the guys what shewas made of. During a novelty day held by the Waipa Wheelers, Bev not only tookpart in the race against the men her age but then went and beat them. This inspiredBev to want to race against the men every week. Only one problem, women weren’tallowed to race with the men. The blokes weren’t having a bar of it. Bev’spersistence paid off and in 1960 she became the first women in NZ to take out aracing license. The men put out a petition to try and ban Bev from racing with thembut thankfully for us, it failed.

Bev competed for 28 years, becoming the fastest women in the 160km Mt Egmont(now Taranaki) race in 1966 in a time of 4 hours 54 minutes and winning theMorrinsville Open. Unfortunately, it was an accident that ended Bev’s competitivedays in 1988. It would probably be easier to list the body parts Bev didn’t fracture.This hasn’t diminished Bev’s love of cycling or her contribution. Prior to that Bev hadalready been active in the administration side of the sport. She’s been the clubsecretary at Morrinsville Wheelers longer, I imagine, than most people can recall.And in 1990 she started the Bev May’s Women’s Tour.

Coryn Rivera, Team Sunweb“A light climbing bike with aero capabilities is superior over a bike that is simply light weight.

To have a light bike that can be efficient and save energy on the climbs and also descendfast and gain time on the flat after a climb is a plus. With Langma, there are performance

benefits for all different kinds of terrain” Learn more at Liv-Cycling.com/Langma
