The Fremont Freewheelers Bicycle Club (FFBC) is a non-profit club organized for the purpose of promoting all facets of bicycling, which includes leisure, recreational, touring and racing, always with an emphasis on bicycle safety and education.

Fremont Freewheelers Bicycle Club is a member of numerous local, state and national bicycle organizations which promote and protect the rights and welfare of all bicycling enthusiasts. These organizations include the East Bay Bicycle Coalition (EBBC), California Association of Bicycle Organizations (CABO), Santa Clara Valley Bicycle Organization (SCVBA) and the United States Cycling Federation (USCF).

For over a quarter century FFBC has been the proud sponsor the the popular Primavera bicycle tour. The Primavera is a club supported bicycle tour of the local area with four different distances: 100 miles (Century), 100 k, 70 k and 25 miles. The Primavera is usually held the third Sunday in April every year.

Fremont Freewheelers Bicycle Club also sponsors an annual ride series designed to introduce bicycling to women. The Cinderella Training Rides were organized by a group of women in FFBC and are geared toward the completion of the women-only Cinderella 100 k ride sponsored every March by the Valley Spokesmen Bicycle Club. Many of the women who have participated in the Cinderella Training Rides have gone on the become active, cycling members of FFBC and the cycling community in general.

A club newsletter, The Spoken Truth, is published monthly which provides information on club activities including a complete ride schedule for the coming month for both road and off road (mountain bike) rides. Rides are scheduled for all levels of riding ability, beginning, intermediate and advanced.
