MAny thanks to the artist for sharing his photo with me.

This uniface medallion bears three bicyclists, facing half right, racing for the finish line, two looking forward, middle one with his head down. Signed along seat of left-most bicyclist, EVERHART II

I like how Don Everhart made the front wheel of the leading bicyclist leave the traditional medallion's circle.  It makes the whole design much more dynamic.

Many thianks to the artist for granting me permission to use his imagery.

Don Everhart states that this medal was inspired by the work of Eadweard Muybridge, an English photographer who pioneered stop-motion photography. After shooting his wife's lover and being acquitted by a jury for justifiable homicide, Muybridge decided to travel to the Americas. In the 1880s, he entered a very productive period at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, producing over 100,000 images of animals and humans in motion, capturing what the human eye could not distinguish as separate movements.

The medallion is cast in bronze.

Many thanks to the artist for sharing his photo of this beautiful medallion with me.
