| | Famous New Zealanders: Sarah Ulmer - Kids - Christchurch City Libraries |
 | | Growing up, Sarah played squash, volleyball and soccer; cycling was for transport to and from school. Then a school friend persuaded her to start riding competitively and she represented her school as part of the school cycling team when she was in the sixth form. |
| | Sarah retained her Commonwealth Games title at Manchester in 2002, where she was also captain of the New Zealand team. She was also awarded the 2002 Lonsdale Cup which is given by the New Zealand Olympic Committee for the most outstanding contribution to an Olympic or Commonwealth Games sport in that year. |
| | In 2004 Sarah launched an annual Auckland fun ride for women and children, called the Bike Day Out. In 2005 the event was renamed the SUB Ride, after she launched the Sarah Ulmer Brand cycles and clothing, and attracted 1800 participants. |
