From Nelson Vails:

I’m thrilled to announce the REI premier of “Cheetah – the Nelson Vails Story” in the beautiful Seattle flagship store on Friday May 2nd. This hour-long documentary chronicles my improbable ascension from New York City bike messenger, to the podium of the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. As the first, and only African American to ever medal in cycling at an Olympics, I invite you to join me for an evening of cycling history and inspiration.
