Taylor was banned from racing in the American South, despite the fact that Black competitors in Europe were more welcomed and faced less blatant bigotry.

Many rivals harassed and knocked him on the course, and spectators sometimes hurled objects at him as he rode. W.E. Becker, a rider from Boston, pulled Taylor off his bike and choked him before police arrived, knocking him unconscious for 15 minutes.\n
