A number of female bicycle racers have chosen to have children without giving up their sport. The most noted was Mary Jane "Miji" Reoch, who was a very winning rider in the early 70's. She actually rode her bike to the hospital after she went into labor (I presume that it wasn't done at racing speeds!). This produced a lot of flames, to which she responded (freely paraphrased), "Look, bozos, I was extremely careful and checked with my doctor first". She had a perfectly normal delivery and a perfectly normal child (although I did hear one rumor that the kid was born with a derailluer attached...)
