Throughout his bike-racing career, he won awards and set records on and off the track. But in his native United States, he faced racist discrimination and violence at every turn, causing him to spend most of his time in Europe where fans saw his vale. After he retired from racing, he wrote and published his autobiography and traveled the world promoting it. Written in the 1920s, his story feels fresh, contemporary, and readable. His life was too short, but his legacy lives on in the many organizations and clubs that bear his name, and generations of new cyclists who look up to him. His intelligence, good humor, and global perspective shine through on every page in this candid account of a remarkable life"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 796.6092 Taylor Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.6092 Taylor Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Taylor Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Biography B Taylor Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList
