I've read a book about her. It paints her as somewhat of a charletain and publicity-seeker who did it mainly for money. Some of her stories were fabrications and she often used alternative transportation (taking ships from city to city and then cycling in the city). Clearly she was a strong athlete and deserved accolades for her cycling achievements, but she didn't really cycle around the world (if the book I read is accurate). Her great grand-nephew is giving the lectures, so it will be interesting to see how he presents it. I do plan to attend one of them.
Sorry to be a kill-joy. Just an alternate side of the story.
