INTRODUCCIÓN
Black Champions in Cycling (Campeonxs Negrxs en el Ciclismo) es una exploración exhaustiva y meditada de la amplia, y a menudo ignorada, historia de lxs ciclistas de color. El experto mundial en la historia y las vidas de lxs campeonxs ciclistas Negrxs, ex-ciclista élite y académico Dr Marlon Moncrieffe combina su propia experiencia en la competición élite con la de otrxs colaboradorxs. El primer libro de este tipo, esta colección de historias, reflexiones personales y entrevistas a iconos históricos del deporte y ciclistas revolucionarixs de hoy en día, afronta problemas predominantes respecto al acceso, la diversidad, la inclusión y la representación. Explorando cómo figuras tan importantes como Major Taylor o Maurice Burton descubrieron el ciclismo por primera vez, el libro destaca a los mentores que les animaron a perseguir sus ambiciones, así como las formas explícitas e implícitas de discriminación a las que se enfrentaron. Desde el primer ciclista no-blanco en competir en el Tour de France de 1914, hasta lxs ciclistas Negrxs que rompen barreras hoy en día, descubre cómo una determinación por tener éxito frente a la discriminación definió las carreras deportivas de estxs grandes deportistas.
Incluye entrevistas con:
Major Taylor, Kittie Knox, David Weller, Maurice Burton, Russell Williams, Nelson Vails, Justin and Cory Williams, Gregory Bauge, Rashaan Bahati, Kevin Reza, Tre Whyte, Shanaze Reade, David Clarke, Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado, Nicholas Dlamini y muchxs más.

I love this book!
I'm not a regular cyclist now but as a kid I loved my bike/s and cycled everywhere ,so the stories within really resonated with me.
This book gave me the opportunity to see what prejudice many cyclist have faced over the last 100 years through their very personal stories. It gave me an insight into their courage and determination to face this head on.....and see life as they experienced it through their lens.
I think most of all the book fills me with positives because the prejudices that was practiced by the few then, (and ignored by the many).......will not be tolerated on the same scale today.
This book serves not only as a beacon of hope, but as a message to the biggited that the World is now a very different place. Basically we are all unique personalities, but fundamentally that we are all made from the same cloth. Love and Peace to EVERYONE!

The Story of Cycling Can’t Be Told Without Us
This is a very timely book for me. The stories of the men and women who have come before me has gave me a better insight into the world of cycling. This book has empowered me and gave me the sense of belonging each time I get an opportunity to turn the crank. I hope that these stories continue to inspire and change the culture of cycling to make it more inclusive, accessible and ‘cool’ for people who have been discriminated against.

One of the best Rapha products ever!
Beautiful book! So well produced, and of course well written to address an absolutely necessary conversation about not only the overwhelming whiteness of the cycling world and its gatekeepers, but also best current efforts to make authentic space for marginalized folks. Most of all I appreciate how the designers and writer integrated their efforts so seamlessly. Bravi!

Very informative book
A lot of great content in this book I am happy to have read it and have encouraged others to read it as well. My one concern and it’s a big one is not capitalizing the B in Black.

Fantastic book
Bought this as a fathers' day present as my dad is a keen cyclist. Insightful and fantastic book. Customer service from both the author and Rapha was brilliant. I would recommend this book to anyone.
