The Black Cyclone: A Hero The World ForgotThe life story of Marshall Major Taylor, the world's first acclaimed African American athlete. Major Taylor endured countless examples of social injustice during his reign at the top of cycling's pyramid of success. It was an era when bike racing was bigger than baseball and the fledgling sports of football and basketball combined. Cyclists were the highest paid athletes in any sport and our country had more than a hundred high banked velodromes

The life story of Marshall Major Taylor, the world's first acclaimed African American athlete. Major Taylor endured countless examples of social injustice during his reign at the top of cycling's pyramid of success. It was an era when bike racing was bigger than baseball and the fledgling sports of football and basketball combined. Cyclists were the highest-paid athletes in any sport and our country had more than a hundred high-banked velodromes historically reminiscent of what NASCAR represents today.

Major Taylor was the world's best-known African American in any endeavor. He was also the first openly Christian athlete whose strength of body, mind, and spirit inspired others, black and white, with his extraordinary athletic achievement. His moral impact and the lessons Major imparted 120 years ago are equally relevant today.

Better cologne type deodorant that's not as EXTREME as dramatic competitors.
Style: Palo Santo, Size: 2.65 Ounce (Pack of 1)
So far so good with this deodorant regarding how well it performs through a full day of light activity (morning yoga, playing with the dog, carrying kids around, etc.). The scent is light and I notice it periodically throughout the day, but it's light enough to not be overwhelming or smell like a strong cologne. The fragrance is very "Man Fireplace Candle" type scent, but in a good way that is perfect for its purpose. My biggest complaint is the deodorant is very malleable, almost putty-like, so it tends to get squished out the sides of the lid when open/closed daily, therefore making it messy. This is relatively avoidable by just winding down the wheel each time, but is "annoying" as opposed to just using and capping. It glides on smoothly and feels good on skin or "hairy pits". A little pricier, but it's worth it in my opinion. Will be purchasing again.

Officially my favorite and exclusive deodorant.
Style: Vintage Suede, Size: 2.65 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is the most amazing smelling deodorant I've ever used, and unique, too. Very smooth just like their shaving cream, and I haven't had any irritation. I've been complimented by a few people now on how good I smell.

Smells great. Doesn't mess with my pits.
Style: Casked Vanilla, Size: 2.65 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I ordered the casked vanilla scent. My lady loves it on me. The added benefit I wasn't expecting was no more sour pit smell by the end of the day that has plagued me using other brands. I'll keep ordering this stuff for now.

Effective
Style: Italian Bergamot, Size: 2.65 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Smells is nice but not amazing, the body wash in the Bergamot smells much better. But this stuff lasts. No chalky / sticky feeling but still keeps me BO free for two days straight.
