Francis Theodore Tredrea (19 May 1920 – 23 August 1999) was a New Zealand racing cyclist who represented his country at the 1950 British Empire Games.
Born on 19 May 1920,[1] Tredrea was the son of Edgar Martin Tredrea and Ada Avoca Tredrea (née Poulton).[2] He married Nola Kathleen Merrie at St Andrew's Church, Taneatua, on 26 December 1942.[2]
At the 1950 British Empire Games in Auckland, Tredrea competed in the men's 10-mile scratch race, but was unplaced.[3] He went on to have a career as a professional cyclist.[4]
In his later years, Tredrea suffered from Parkinson's disease. In 1993, he took up cycling again to help control the disease, and became active in masters cycling.[4] [5]
