In 2008 a group of like-minded, idealistic visionaries, who like the late great Marshall Major Taylor, believed the world would be a better place if the bicycle played a more important role in communities like theirs where health issues were on the rise.

A.) Camaraderie with like minded cyclists and clubs around the country.
B.) The support of new cycling clubs who would embrace their vision.
C.).The promotion of cycling's health benefits in communities like theirs.
 

It all started 2007, when Bryant Wesley of the Major Velocity Cycling Club approached Greg Masterson of the Metro Atlanta Cycling Club with the idea of starting an association that would promote the benefits of cycling in their community and other communities like theirs around the country.

Mr Wesley's first step was to create what is now the National Brotherhood of Cyclists online community. With the help Mr. Masterson, Bryant then invited individuals and organization leaders from every cycling club around the country, he thought would be interested in promoting the association's vision.

Finally in 2008 with the assistance of representatives from the Metro Atlanta Cycling Club, BBSSU, Bikin Blazers, Team Black Ski Inc. along with cycling clubs from Major Taylor San Diego, Pittsburgh, Dayton Ohio, Nashville and Houston the organizational development process began.

"I would first and foremost like to thank Mashall Major Taylor whose spirit lives with us all and whose principles of sportsmanship, racial equality, importance of a good education, and living a clean and healthy life style have guided those who have helped develop the National Brotherhood of Cyclists to what it is today."

"Second I would like to thank Greg Masterson, Valerie Robertson, Bruce Woods, Roxanne Campbell, Charles Love, Odale Baker, Jack Gartner, and Jeffrey Kellar for their support, commitment and assistance. For without them this organization would not have come to fruition."
