General Information

The Tour presents a remarkable platform for sponsors to target the New York metropolitan area. More than 30,000 cyclists gather for the unique opportunity to ride 42 miles on traffic-free New York City streets, bridges, highways and parks. Proceeds benefit Bike New York's Bicycle Education Program. Some key demographics to consider are:
  • 66% of our riders are male
  • 42% are ages 26-45
  • 52% have a household income of $100,000+
  • 79% are college educated
Sponsors receive personal attention to assure that genuine partnerships are formed and individual marketing goals are reached. Carefully crafted benefits packages and the opportunity for one-on-one interaction with Tour participants are key to the successful results that bring our sponsors back year after year.

Current and previous sponsors include Commerce Bank, Con Edison, Honda, Lipton Iced Tea, Time Warner Cable, Specialized Bikes, and Kraft Foods, among others. A partnership with the Tour allows your company to:
  • Launch new products
  • Increase brand awareness
  • Enhance retailer or vendor relationships
  • Motivate company personnel
  • Compliment national advertising and marketing programs

The Official Event Program is given to more than 30,000 registered riders along with city officials, sponsors, VIP guests, and volunteers. Frequently saved as a souvenir of a memorable ride through New York City, the Program is rated as "Good" or better by 87% of 2007 Tour participants surveyed regarding its quality and appearance.

Support the Five Boro--and boost your business--by advertising in the Program. Advertisers may be eligible for other benefits as well, including discounted space at the Tour-ending Festival.
