If you’ve made it here, you already know the feeling—the rush of acceleration, the wind in your face, the sun at your back, and the unmistakable freedom only a bike can give. You’re a cyclist.

For 20 years, the Major Taylor Iron Riders have been rolling strong—a community of cyclists who live for the grind, the camaraderie, and the challenge of the next hard ride. Founded in 2006, we’re a proud multi‑level cycling club with riders from across the tri‑state area. Whether you’re cruising with our touring team or pushing limits with our racing squad, you’ll find a place—and a purpose—here.

Our name pays tribute to two legends of resilience and excellence: Marshall “Major” Taylor, the first African American world cycling champion, and the 25th Infantry Bicycle Corps—the “Iron Riders”—whose grueling 1,900‑mile expedition in 1897 redefined what perseverance looks like.
