There have been several attempts made to get a US film going but rumor has it that the black stars didn't care enough about Major Taylor and cycling to be bothered. Seems our newbies were too big and good for it, and scripts were not too

good either, so it might be a combo of all these factors. Seems like that would be work-outable with the superbe history and story it is. Enjoy it for now, at least it'something, and did promote cycling a little. I'm surprised that they didn't have some older guys like me who have a good handle on that era to lend some expertise and credability to the pic. Would have made all the difference in the world, if someone had a better

handle on the cycling emotion and life and then wove the real life
elements
into it.
