We would like to thank our current sponsors for their support. Without their help, we would not be able to coordinate our events and race our bicycles every weekend.

The Tufts Cycling Team is a rapidly-growing group of road and mountain bikers based in Medford, Grafton, and downtown Boston, Massachusetts. As a club sport, school-funding is limited and it is crucial to the team's success that it partners with sponsors who can help its members achieve their goals of self-improvement, friendly competition, and, above all, building a cohesive team by riding and racing bicycles. Cycling is the most popular form of recreation in the United States, and is, thanks to the success and recent comeback of Lance Armstrong, a quickly-growing sport.

The Team goes on training rides throughout eastern Massachusetts, with the road team regularly riding from Tufts' Medford campus through Boston, Cambridge, Arlington, Lexington, Concord, Weston, and Waltham, and many more towns. The Team also competes in the Eastern Collegiate Cycling Conference (ECCC) in the fall mountain bike and the spring road racing seasons. These rides and races provide remarkable advertising opportunities to sponsors. Each Tufts rider becomes a “rolling billboard,” and as a whole, the Tufts team will provide over 5000 hours of advertising in the next year.

By the end of the 2008 road season, the Team competed in events hosted by the following colleges and universities: Harvard, Bucknell, University of Pennsylvania, Drexel, Vassar, West Point, Rutgers, University of Vermont, University of New Hampshire, and Colorado State University, host of the Collegiate Cycling Road National Championships.

Each race weekend provides sponsors with exposure to hundreds of racers, students, and spectators. Tufts is one of the primary promoters and hosts of the Boston Beanpot weekend, the largest collegiate cycling event in the country, an event that is a huge draw for the Medford, Somerville, and Arlington communities. Several Tufts riders compete during summer USA Cycling (USAC) races across the United States.

The Tufts University Cycling Team is always looking for potential sponsors. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor or would just like more information, please contact Evan Cooper.
