    Well, I just finished reading an older version of his bio. He did compete in one really big one at Madison Sq. Garden and he most certainly bore the brunt of some racist tactics. There was so much description of what the other racers did to him, I can't remember what specifically happened. It was shameful. Another reason why he didn't do more is that he wouldn't race on Sundays. But the other racers, one in particular, did everything in his power to keep him out of a lot of races, because he was scared to death that a Black man would beat him. So even though this was a super popular form of racing and Taylor wanted to do more, he couldn't.
    It was hard to believe, though, that in 1900 there were thousands of people at these races!

    more good cycling movies

    We're lucky enough to have a local video store who's owner loves cycling. We watched the 6 six day movie last week. It is good! We also recently watched one on the Little 500. Very interesting too!

    Here's the link to the list of cycling movies that are available--

    Who knew there were so many!

    Breaking Away, yes......American Flyer might just be the worst movie ever made. Picture this...man in REALLY short cut-off jeans, no shirt, and a COWBOY HAT! on a road bike, riding to bad '80s music (he might even be carrying a boom box, if I remember correctly). I shudder to even think about it. Well, it's a good for a laugh. Watch it with friends, and lots of drinks.
