Tillie Anderson (April 23, 1875 – April 29, 1965) was a road and track cyclist. Tillie, a Swedish immigrant and, from all accounts, an extremely strong-willed individual, outpaced the best of the best on the wheel, with times that are still impressive today. Born in Skåne, Sweden in 1875, Tillie emigrated to Chicago in 1891 at the age of 16. At 18, she had saved enough money working as a seamstress to buy her first bicycle. During the summer of 1895, she took part in the race over the Elgin-Aurora (Ill.) century course and broke the century record. She later traveled around the country taking part in six-day bicycle races for women, which involved racing at top speed two hours each evening for six consecutive days. Tillie was 20 years old when the League of American Wheelmen recognized her

dbo:abstract
  • Tillie Anderson (23 d'abril de 1875 - Detroit Lakes, 29 d'abril de 1965) era una ciclista de carretera i de pista estatunidenca d'origen suec. Va immigrar de Suècia i essent una persona amb una gran voluntat de superació, va guanyar els millors en la bicicleta, amb uns temps que encara avui en dia són sorprenents. Va néixer a Skåne, Suècia, l'any 1875, i el 1891 va emigrar a Chicago, quan tenia 16 anys. Als 18 anys ja havia estalviat prou diners treballant de cosidora i es va comprar la seva primera bicicleta. L'estiu de 1895 va participar en la cursa per la línia de ferrocarill Elgin-Aurora (Illinois), una cursa centenària de la qual va trencar el rècord establert fins al moment. Més tard va viatjar al voltant del país participant en curses de sis dies per a dones, el qual implicava córrer a velocitat máxima dues hores cada vespre durant sis dies consecutius. Tenia 20 anys quan la League of American Wheelmen la va reconèixer com a la millor ciclista femenina del món. El juny de l'any 2000 - 105 anys més tard - la van proposar a títol pòstim pel United States Bicycling Sala de Fama , una campiona i pionera indiscutible en l'atletisme femení. (ca)
