So often m-bike has focused on Detroit bike history prior to 1900.  However, much history was made after that, especially through the Wolverine Sports Club.

Last year the Wolverines’ Clair Young passed. He was a ten time Michigan State Champion during the 1940s and 1950s. That’s dominant.

His daughter Sheila Young went on to a very distinguished racing career in both cycling and speed skating — winning some Olympic medals along the way.

Endless Road Media produced this excellent mini-documentary on Clair Young.
