Young Majors is a youth cycling training program launched in 2022 through a collaboration between the New York Cycle Club (NYCC) and Major Taylor Iron Riders (MTIR). The program introduces young people in New York City to road cycling while expanding access to the sport, with a strong emphasis on engaging Black, Latinx, and Asian boys and girls. NYCC’s trademark SIG training series was leveraged to develop this program.
Our goal is to spread our love of cycling as a transformative lifestyle, and share the wonders and excitement of road cycling to young people who may not otherwise have the opportunity to learn about the sport.
