The Philadelphia Major Taylor Cycling Club was founded to honor Marshall Walter "Major" Taylor, an American cyclist who won the world 1 mile track cycling championship in 1899.  In one 6 week period in 1899, Taylor established seven world records.  His standing start mile of 1:41, stood for 28 years.  MTCC consists of cyclists of all different levels and the mission of the club is to promote a healthy lifestyle through the love of cycling, overall good camaraderie and community.  Our club includes the Philadelphia Tri-State region and surrounding suburbs. We are open to all who have interest!
