so i hear they’re making a movie about major taylor. i can’t find anything that makes it look like it’s really going to happen. i found a “trailer” that was just a youtube with music and pictures of him. anyone know anything about this? i’d totally go see this…
This has nothing to do with that, but I go out of my way to ride the Major Taylor trail from time to time just because it’s named after him. Sadly it is a glorified sidewalk but there is a rad mural along the way.
Btw here is his autobiography in .pdf/.txt format. I keep meaning to take it out from the library but I’m pretty lazy.
thought this was going to be a thread about this steel piece of shit. Shows how little I know about anything
I was at the Major Taylor Velodrome in Indianapolis on Friday… totally not on topic. We try to rep Major here.
wait black people ride bikes? were fucked now

almost made a bad bad joke
almost
dont judge me
It is true that there has never been an African/African American rider in the Tour. In 2010, that’s totally crazy.
Maybe Rahsaan Bahati will move up out of crit racing? Or, a few of the cyclists a group has been training out of Kenya will get picked up by a team?
That said, joking, thinly veiled, or whatever else, racism doesn’t have a place on tarck.
i’d be interested to see if/when/how cycling sees a groundbreaker like kip keino.
edit: pro tour, non-track cycling.

Coming off the success of the World Cup, South Africa needs to pull a Team Sky, organize a team and fight to put an African in the Tour in five years.
Dunno much about Rahsaan Bahati, but he managed to pull out a 7th place finish in the Tour of America’s Dairyland only racing 5 of the 11 days. It’s a small time race, but still, nice work.

why? i think it’s awesome.
Because it’s racist if white people say white power but it’s perfectly acceptable if black people say black power.
People want equality but when shit like that exists we will never have it.
