This is a story about a forgotten working class pioneer cyclist in England that was made into a opera.  This guy's story was pretty amazing about how he would bicycle to a race and back home.  He won a silver medal in the 1920 Olympics.  The city is Scunthorpe and has a similar story too with factory jobs leaving the area.  I wonder about the story of our hometown hero, Otto Maya.
