The club began in Greensboro in 2021, as the world was opening back up. The pandemic had pulled everyone apart, and cycling turned out to be a way to come back together. Outdoors, spread across a road, close enough to talk.

James and Jeannette wanted a name that carried weight. Black cyclists are a minority in this sport, and they were looking for something that said why we were out there. When they learned about Marshall “Major” Taylor, and found that clubs bearing his name were forming across the country for exactly the same reason, the decision made itself.

Everything on this page came from that question.
