18. Hear Beverly’s, Harry Leary’s Mother, responds to why she chose the word “Joy” to describe Harry Leary with one word. Beverly wanted the baby for herself, despite outside influences - such as being asked “Don’t you know how to do it, Pappi and I will talk to you about it”... Beverly turned down that offer.

We invite you to listen with an open mind.

📚 About Lititz BMX

Lititz BMX is an independent BMX preservation project dedicated to documenting and preserving the people, bikes, artifacts, race history, and stories that shaped the sport.

What began as a private collection has grown into an expanding digital archive featuring hundreds of artifacts, rider profiles, interviews, educational resources, and historical research spanning BMX’s earliest days through today.

Every artifact tells a story. Every rider leaves a legacy. Every piece of BMX history deserves to be preserved. Each recording helps preserve BMX history by documenting the people, artifacts, and stories that might otherwise be lost to time.
