The Major Taylor Iron Riders is a New York City-based cycling club serving riders of all levels throughout the Tri-State area. As a high-performance club, we are dedicated to those with the drive to excel; if you are committed to becoming a stronger, more skilled rider, there is a place for you in our paceline.

Our mission is to promote the health benefits, personal joys, and deep camaraderie found in cycling. We pride ourselves on a membership that is as diverse as it is experienced, featuring lifelong cyclists—many with over 20 years in the saddle—who bring a wealth of knowledge to the group.

Our Programs & Structure

Membership is open to all—regardless of race, creed, or gender—who share our passion and own a road bike. The club is organized into three distinct pillars:

• The Touring Members: Focused on endurance, community, and the spirit of the ride.

• The Major Taylor Development Team: Our high-performance racing arm. The team competes throughout the Tri-State area and travels abroad for epic adventures, including the infamous Haute Route, the Swiss Alps, and the iconic roads of Italy.

• YoungMajors NYCC: Our youth cycling program in collaboration with the New York Cycle Club (NYCC). This initiative supports middle school students, providing the resources and mentorship needed to get young riders on their bikes and active in the sport.
