From 1895 to 1910, he was the preeminent force in bicycle racing, the world's most popular professional sport of that time. Major Taylor was the man to beat. After he retired, he spent his last days in Chicago and died at Cook County Hospital. Major Taylor's final resting place is in Chicago's southlands.
