OUTPOST Join the Founding Rider List Join

Concept currently being developed for NYC endurance cyclists

Your bike lives
where you ride.

OUTPOST is a secure cycling clubhouse at the gateway to New York's best distance riding. Store your bike. Keep your gear here. Change, ride, shower, recover.

No carrying your bike through the city. No loading the car. No spending the first hour of your ride escaping traffic.

Arrive. Ride. Recover. Go home.

The best part of your ride
shouldn't start 15 miles later.

Every long ride out of Manhattan begins with an hour of logistics. Stairs, elevators, traffic, the bridge path. Then the real ride starts — and you do the whole thing again backwards, tired.

The morning you have now

Same route out. Same route back. Every weekend.

  2. Carry the bike down the stairs or wrestle the elevator+10 min

Roughly 90 minutes of the morning spent not riding

The morning with OUTPOST

Travel light. Everything else is already there.

  2. OUTPOST+30 min
  3. Change, fill bottles, take your bike off the rack+10 min
  4. Ride immediatelythe point
  5. Return and shower+15 min
  6. Bike goes back in the vault+5 min
  7. Go home clean, carrying a backpack+30 min

The dead miles disappear. The ride stays the same length.

A trailhead built for people
who take riding seriously.

Storage is the reason you'd join. It isn't the reason you'd stay. OUTPOST is being designed as the place your riding life lives — the workshop, the coffee, the group that leaves at 7:45.

Secure bike vault

Assigned indoor storage with controlled access, cameras and member-only entry. Your bike hangs in the same place every week, indoors, dry, and not in your hallway.

Personal gear locker

Shoes, helmet, glasses, tools, nutrition, kit and spares stay at OUTPOST. You travel with a backpack, or with nothing at all.

Changing rooms and showers

Arrive in normal clothes. Leave clean. No changing in a parking lot, no train ride home in a soaked base layer.

Rider workshop

Floor pumps, work stands, common tools, charging for electronic shifting, tubeless support and space to sort out a problem before it becomes a walk home.

Fuel bar

Proper espresso, hydration, gels, bars, simple pre-ride food and something worth drinking when you get back.

Club room

Routes, weather, segments, group ride boards, racing on the screen, and somewhere to sit and talk about bikes for an hour afterwards.

Service

Bike cleaning, drivetrain maintenance, kit laundry, tune-ups and pre-ride prep, so the bike you pick up on Saturday is the bike you'd want to ride.

Vault concept — assigned indoor racking, member-only access

Workshop concept — stands, pumps, tools, charging

Saturday morning
should look like this.

Five and a half hours, door to door. Sixty of them on roads worth riding.

  1. Leave Manhattan with a backpack.

  2. Arrive at OUTPOST.

  3. Change. Fill bottles. Grab the bike.

  4. Start a 60-mile ride.

  5. Return.

  6. Bike back in the vault. Shower.

  7. Espresso. Recovery drink. Talk bikes.

  8. Head home.

60.0 mi · ride completeEverything else stays behind

The bike
stays here.

  1. 01

    Nothing to carry home.

    Your bike, shoes, helmet and gear are already where you'll need them next weekend.

  2. 02

    Nothing to clean in the bathtub.

    Finish the ride. Shower. Leave the maintenance to OUTPOST — or handle it yourself in a proper workshop.

  3. 03

    Nothing leaning against the wall.

    Your apartment gets its space back. Your bike gets a secure home.

Your ride ends at OUTPOST.The hassle ends there too.

Saturday, 12:15 PM · nothing in your hands

Built where the
good riding begins.

The first location hasn't been chosen. We're evaluating the gateways NYC riders already use — the places where the traffic thins and the road opens up. Your answer moves the pin.

You probably already know
if this is for you.

There's no persuading to do here. Either the first hour of your Saturday is a problem you've quietly accepted, or it isn't.

  • You ride 40, 60, 80 or 100+ miles.
  • You own a bike you care about.
  • Your NYC apartment was never designed to store it.
  • You train for centuries, fondos, triathlons or Ironman events.
  • You spend too much of your ride getting to the ride.
  • You'd rather keep your cycling life at the trailhead.
  • You value your time more than you value carrying a bicycle onto elevators, trains and sidewalks.

OUTPOST is not trying to make someone a cyclist. It is being designed for people who already are.

The clubhouse before
and after the ride.

Half of why riders keep showing up somewhere is the people who are already there at seven in the morning. That part gets designed too.

  • Weekends Group rides at set times, posted pace and distance, no one dropped by accident
  • Routes Local knowledge, shared files, segment talk, what's closed and what's freshly paved
  • Race days Meetups for the Tour, Giro and Vuelta, on a screen, with coffee
  • Training Ironman and gran fondo groups building toward the same dates
  • Coaching Visiting coaches and bike fit sessions
  • Clinics Repairs, tubeless, travel packing, what to do when it goes wrong at mile 50
  • After Espresso before, recovery and conversation afterward

A clubhouse, not a venue. Quiet enough to sit in on a Tuesday, busy enough at 7:30 on a Saturday that you never have to ride alone unless you want to.

Founding rider research

Help us build
OUTPOST #1.

We're finding out whether enough NYC-area endurance cyclists want a place like this to exist.

If the concept solves a problem you actually have, join the Founding Rider List. No payment, no commitment. The responses decide the location, the membership structure, and whether OUTPOST gets built at all.

If you think it's a bad idea, the last question is the most useful one on the page.

No spam. No sales pitch.
We're trying to determine whether this should exist.

Questions, answered honestly.

No. This site is part of early research into whether the concept should be built at all.

Not determined. Fort Lee, Piermont, Nyack and Tarrytown are among the areas being explored, and rider responses will weigh heavily on the decision.

The proposed model includes secure extended-hours or potentially 24/7 member access.

Not primarily. OUTPOST is intended to be a cycling clubhouse and storage and training base, with service available as an added benefit.

Potentially. Additional bike storage would likely be available as an add-on.

Yes. Organized rides and member-led riding would be part of the community concept.

Insurance, security, liability and member coverage are still being researched, and would be clearly defined before launch.

Yes. The concept is explicitly intended to accommodate road, endurance and triathlon bikes.

The city is home.
The road is out here.

Keep your bike where the good riding begins.
