1m 21s

The first Major Taylor Cycling Club began in Columbus, Ohio, in 1979, inspired by Marshall "Major" Taylor, a Black world champion cyclist from 1899. His courage and achievements led to the creation of cycling clubs worldwide in his honor. Today, these clubs are united in an international alliance that celebrates Taylor's legacy of resilience and excellence.
