Amanda Coker (born 1992, North Carolina) is an American ultra-cyclist and the current record holder of the World Endurance record for distance in a calendar year.

Coker first began riding alongside her father, Ricky, as a teenager, and found success as a racer, placing sixth in the time trial at the junior national championships in 2010. She later enrolled at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado as part of a collegiate cycling programs.[1]

In 2011 Coker was hit by a distracted motorist, a crash that threw her {{convert|50|ft|m|0}} and knocked her unconscious, leaving her with a traumatic brain injury.[1]

She got back on the bike in 2015 after recovering from brain and spinal injuries.[1]

On 15 May 2016 Coker started her ride to set a new distance record. Riding a course in Flatwoods Park in Tampa Bay she rode {{convert|237.19|mi|km|0|abbr=on}} a day on average.

She beat Billie Fleming’s record for the greatest distance ridden by a woman with months to spare,[4] after 130 days of riding had managed {{convert|29774|mi|km|0|abbr=on}} – beating the 1938 record of {{convert|29603.7|mi|km|0|abbr=on}}.[2]

In April 2017 she surpassed the previous record of {{convert|76076|mi|km|0|abbr=on}} set by Kurt Searvogel.[1]

In May 2017 Coker set the new record of {{convert|86573|mi|km|0}},[3] beating the previous record by over {{convert|10000|mi|km|0}}.[4] During the attempt, her longest ride in a single day was {{convert|302|mi|km|0|abbr=on}}, completed on the second to last day.[3]

After setting the new record, Coker continued cycling in an effort to ride over 100,000 miles. For 77 years that record was held by Tommy Godwin, who set off on January 1939 and eventually finished his ride after reaching the {{convert|100000|mi|km|0|abbr=on}} mark in May 1940, after 500 days of cycling.[3] On July 11, 2017, Coker reached {{convert|100000|mi|km|0|abbr=on}}, after 423 straight days of cycling.[5]
