Anyone else read this book? Great read about the first African American Champion of American sport. Also a fascinating bit of history about cycling in the 1890's when it was the most popular sport in America. Tens of thousands showed up for races. The time between the horse and the car when bicycles offered freedom for the masses, and were decried by church goers as offering too much freedom and licentious behavior. Said to be the greatest liberator of women to date, by Susan B. Anthony, the bicycle was sport, freedom and lifestyle.
Apologies if this is the wrong place for this post, and in no way do I have any affiliation with the author. Its just a fun read for those into cycling.
