Book Reviews of Major Taylor: The Extraordinary Career of a Champion Bicycle Racer

Book Review: A moving story
Summary: 4 Stars

I thought this book gave a great insight into the life of a great champion from days gone by. The Major would have been a champion in any era.
The author has gone to great lengths to find the true story.
For anyone interested in the history of cycling, a must read.
