Catherine Rachel "Katie" Curtis (born 1 November 1988, in Cardiff[3]) is a Welsh road and track cyclist and a member of the Starley Primal cycling squad.
Curtis began competing at a young age with the Maindy Flyers children's cycle club before joining Cardiff Ajax. Curtis set the record for the 5 km Tandem Standing Start event on the track along with Alex Greenfield, with a time of 7 minutes 4.424 seconds. The record was set in Newport Velodrome on 10 June 2004.[4] They also hold the 10 km Tandem Standing Start event on the track, with a time of 13 minutes 10.421 seconds. The record was set in Newport Velodrome on 16 May 2006. In 2008 Katie rode with Team Halfords Bikehut before moving to Vision1 Racing in 2009.
Curtis suffered a setback to her cycling career when she was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Subsequently she took up a coaching role at the Wales National Velodrome in Newport and teamed up with partially sighted cyclist Nia Knight with a view to competing in the tandem event at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.[5] But subsequently rode solo, representing Wales at the Commonwealth Games in the scratch race, where she finished 7th.[6][1]
