The Six-Day Bicycle Races - Americas Jazz-Age Sport
$39.95
At a time when baseball's greatest heroes were not
yet earning great fortunes in their chosen sport,
when football was merely a game for college
students, the greatest names in sports were
cyclists, making a handsome living racing on
tightly banked oval indoor tracks. Madison Square
Garden and other venues around the country annually
hosted events that pulled in crowds for six days
and nights to watch the greatest show in town: the
Six-Day Races.
This highly pictorial book gives the first thorough account of this once robust sport. Using photographs from his own and Jeff Groman's collections, author Peter Nye provides the story that ties it all together. Hard Cover, 8 x 11", 224 pages, 350 duotone and color photographs.
