Major Taylor, the American cyclist who broke the color barrier. 

I would like to see more black cyclists, especially black ladies.

Thank you for this great synopsis of a truly gifted and inspiring athlete who overcame numerous obstacles in order to achieve greatness. If you haven't already, be sure to read The World's Fastest Man.

Thank you for this video I am a black cyclists in I had no idea about his achievements I don't race or anything but it's just nice to know and I wish there were more of my people Cycling

Best Major Taylor Summary, I’ve seen.

Great story! enough material to make a movie about him.

This was wonderful! Thanks! A story that isn't often told because cycling isn't as prominent in the US as it is in other nations but it needs to be heard.

most excellently told story! I love these old drawings

Thank you so much for telling his story to the world . As a cycling enthusiast in the uk, in had no idea thia great man existed.

Thanks for this video. I am a newbie on cycling and I am African american and I cant wait to start cycling.

Thank you for sharing Kevin.

Major Taylor needs a biopic.

Great job Kevin! I had never heard of him or his story. To think he and other racers did all of that on a single gear bike.

Thanks for sharing this inspiring story Kevin

Truly inspiring, a role model for everyone. When you’re in the toughest of situations you can really shine.

Thank you for sharing this remarkable story!

Thank you for sharing this story in this detail. I immediately subscribed. Its hard to imagine how difficult things must have been for him in his day. You honour his memory with this video. Thank you.

Excellent Job! Great Research on Major Taylor! Thank You for posting this wonderful piece.

Lance who?

I had heard of this amazing man this video has just been so great and full of so much achievement

Wow I never that story!! Thank you for sharing

Outstanding video. Thanks.

Thanks for this

Thank you!

Thank you so much for the history lesson

Wow.. Thank you for this.

This would make a great movie

Wow. I knew who Major Taylor was and thought I knew quite a bit about him but I was wrong! This is a most fantastic video and history lesson. Thanks so much for creating this! I am a mixed race product of black/white parentage. I have been riding bikes all my life since early childhood (I'm 49 now). I was a top regional amateur mountain bike racer for several years before becoming a sponsored semi-pro ultra endurance racer for nearly 5 years. Nowadays I like to focus on backcountry off road, off the grid expedition and adventure on my mountain bike. Cheers, I just subscribed. #theadventurebiker ps. I was born in Massachusetts!

Best video I've seen in weeks.

Great job. Thanks!

The racist international cycling community never speaks about this history, they try to shove this history under the rug.

This is inspiring

Nice information!

Thank you

An astonishing athlete cyclist and pioneer of future African American sportspeople.
