Janet Lucy Shaw[1] (7 October 1966 – 3 December 2012) was a visually-impaired Australian tandem cyclist and author.

She became visually impaired due to congenital retinoblastoma (eye cancer) and lost her sight completely at the age of 33.

[3] Shaw believed this had a negative impact on her life due to the strict nature of the school.

[4] She then drew up a bucket list which included being a passenger on a motorbike, kayaking with dolphins in Monkey Mia and visiting a Byron Bay retreat with her dog Sabah.

Her two autobiographies Beyond the Red Door (2004) and Bit of a Superhero (2012) discussed her life with cancer and blindness.

[6] She commented that she "loved the feel of the speed as we were flying along and going round the corners on an angle, and sprinting for the finish line.
