Brief Description

Major Taylor Iron Riders is an African American New York City based recreational cycling club that was formed in 2005. Our name is derived from two historic African American cycling milestones. The first is Marshall “Major” Taylor ; in 1898 Major Taylor became the world's first African American cycling champion. Membership is open to anyone regardless of race, creed or gender.
