Support The Assaults through Sponsorship!

The caliber of The Assaults as one of the nation’s most beloved public cycling experiences provides incredible exposure opportunities for our sponsors and event partners. Together with our sponsors, The Freewheelers Cycling Association (FCA) invests more than $165,000 each year to ensure that The Assaults will be professional, safe and exciting for all.

Cyclist demographics 800 +/- cyclists participate in The Assaults each year. At our last reporting, thirty percent (30%) live within a 100-mile radius of Spartanburg, SC. The remaining seventy percent (70%) of our riders travel from outside the Western Carolinas to participate and support the local economy through hotel accommodations, restaurant reservations, and retail patronage during their stay. In previous rides, we’ve hosted cyclists from 41 different states and 5 different countries.
