Neighborhood Bike Works students on the ninth annual Major Taylor Birthday Ride. Marshall "Major" Taylor was an African American bicycle racer who lived about one hundred years ago. He was a pioneering Black athlete in a world before Jesse Owens and Jackie Robinson. There are a couple of good books about Major Taylor including his autobiography, _The Fastest Bicycle Rider in the World_ and the children's book featured here, _Major Taylor, Champion Cyclist_, by Lisa Cline-Ransome, with illustrations by James E. Ransome.

Music is a live version of _Tank_ by Yoko Kanno and The Seatbelts

  • One of history's greatest athletes. The 200 world record is only slightly faster than his time of 100 years ago!!!!
