Kathryn Bertine has undoubtedly made some history in the world of professional cycling for women. My thoughts on her is that she is someone we can all learn from. She has consistently pushed to achieve her goals and make changes. She lobbied for the addition of women in the Tour de France, but settled for La Course by La Tour de France. A professional cyclist, a writer and a documentary maker, Bertine has left a mark. But as a society we could all learn of her struggle and folly. Constantly pushing for more women in professional cycling, writing books, traveling, advocating and training all take there toll. Bertine demonstrates to us that there is such thing as “too much” and over-zealousness in her ambition. In the end, she learned that “giving-up” isn’t entirely a bad thing, because then she can ask for help when she really needed it. A lesson that we all should learn.
