What do you know about the middle photo in the second set? I see a black rider in the group. It's probably not Major Taylor but it could be... right? It would have to be quite a bit earlier than 1920, though one of them is dated 1917, so maybe... I don't know how many other racers of color there were at the time.

Beautiful photos. Thanks. Some of those guys look ****ing hardcore.

Those are some great pictures! Wouldn't be fun to go back to those times and see just how fast those guys were! Sure looks like fun!
