Whether you're an expert racer or a weekend warrior, your passion for everything on two wheels has a positive impact. We believe in supporting your efforts.
Race Teams
We believe strongly in sponsoring active grassroots racing teams and individual athletes. Please submit racing resumes and projected schedules for consideration.
Cycling Clubs
Cycling may largely be an individual sport, but humans are social beasts. The thousands of small clubs spread out around the world are the true foundation of our sport. They grow the sport by simultaneously keeping veteran cyclists engaged and gently introducing new riders. If you are part of an active club who has a positive impact on its surrounding cycling community, please submit a club biography and activity schedule for consideration.

...and do this while:
. using sponsors' products.

. sharing reports/photos/videos of your exploits.
A note about your local IBD
One important requirement we have is that regardless of the level of sponsorship, we ask that you identify and work with a local shop. Your local shop is an important component in your local economy and in the greater cycling industry. Coordinating your team/club sponsorship with your local shop strengthens your relationship and provides the shop the opportunity to solicit your business both on sponsorship purchases and on future sales/service.
Sponsorship arrangements that circumvent this relationship are detrimental to the sport that you love. Stay away from them, or at least ask those that offer this to consider working with your local IBD.
