Repack Rider

Wende Cragg was an original mountain biker from the time before that term was coined. She was the only woman in a male dominated landscape, riding a modified Schwinn that weighed half of what she did. She had the foresight to lug a camera along to bicycling events whose importance can only be fully appreciated at this distance. Her images documented a unique moment in bicycle history.
"Camera Corner" on YouTube is a loving tribute to this woman who has been my friend of many decades and who shared so many cycling adventures.
My book on the history of the sport would not be half what it is without her images, including this cover shot from 1976.
