Shelley Olds (born September 30, 1980) is an American racing cyclist.
Olds was born and raised in Groton, Massachusetts. She studied health and human performance at Roanoke College in Virginia, and was captain of their women's soccer team. She was introduced to cycling by her future husband after moving to California and began track racing soon afterwards. She turned professional in 2007.
She registered with the UCI under her married name of Shelley Evans for the 2010 season, but reverted to her maiden name in later seasons.
Olds rode for the US in the road race at the 2012 Olympics in London. She was one of the four riders in the winning breakaway group that split from the peloton with 50 km to go, but suffered a puncture 20 km later and crossed the finish line with the peloton in seventh place.
Olds joined the Bigla Pro Cycling Team for the 2015 season. However in June 2015 Bigla announced that Olds had parted with the team by mutual agreement, and the following day her former team Alé–Cipollini announced that they had re-signed her. In November 2015 she was announced as part of the inaugural squad for the Cylance Pro Cycling team for the 2016 season.
