- Description: Zara Kathleen Samuel, who would later be known as Billie Samuel (nee Kesper), marked her place in history as a pioneering American-born Australian cyclist. Born on March 24, 1907, and passing on January 15, 1995, Samuel's contributions to cycling are both notable and inspiring. In 1934, she shattered societal expectations and physical challenges by becoming the first woman to cycle from Melbourne to Sydney, a feat that was unheard of at the time for women. Her determination and skill were further underscored on her return journey, where she broke the women's world record for the fastest ride from Sydney to Melbourne, a record previously held by Elsa Barbour
