There actually was womens cycling in Greymouth at Victoria Park when the original Greymouth Cycling Club was formed in the late 1900s. I have a photo somewhere which I will dig up later. Also the NZ Pro cycling championships were held at Victoria Park in conjunction with the chopping in 1949 . The visiting cyclists were not impressed with the track and there were several fights between Auckland and Canterbury riders.
