I’m not much of a cycling historian, hell I barely consider myself a cyclist, but I love seeing/hearing stories like this that had seem to be lost in time:

Also, how sweet is it to read something about a sports idol that does not involve knocking your fiance out and/or beating the shit out of a little kid?
Very much interested in seeing this movie when it comes out.
He has long been one of my sports heroes because of that. Bad ass.
Known about this for a few years at least so I don’t think it was ever lost in time. Definitely deserves further recognition though and it could make for a good movie.
Great story. I did not know that. Thank you for sharing.
That is pretty cool…I hadn’t heard that before.

The book referenced in the article, *Road to Valor, *is a great read, too. I’d highly recommend it. Fascinating story.
