In 1940, Fred "Pop" Kugler, a local Bicycle shop owner and professional bike racer, decided to start a bicycle race in his home town of Somerville. The Tour of Somerville has been held every year (with the exception of 1943-1946 due to World War II) since its inception. The Tour has become known as "The Kentucky Derby of Cycling" and draws international Olympians and top cyclists from around the world. It was the predominant American cycling race from the 1940s to the 1980s.
