About Braking the Cycle:
Every once in a while, you discover an opportunity that can change your world forever. Every now and again, you get a chance to be welcomed into a new family. And occasionally, you get a chance to make the world a better place by putting yourself on the line. That moment is now. That opportunity is Braking the Cycle, presented by TYLENOL® PM.
We are not just another AIDS ride. Over the past five years, we have built a family that loves and cares for each other year round. We laugh and cry together, we care for you like family, and we're as much fun as the law allows. We think that's why each year, more than two-thirds of our participants return. And together, our hearty little band accomplishes something big: In the past three years alone, Braking the Cycle has delivered over $1 million to support the HIV/AIDS services of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center, while spreading awareness about HIV in communities across 275 miles from Gettysburg to Manhattan.
We're a small ride, but we're a big family making a huge impact, and each year we welcome new members into the fold.

About the Center
Established in 1983, The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender (LGBT) Community Center of New York City builds and supports our community through health, advocacy, and cultural programs; meeting and conference services; referrals and resources; and a safe and welcoming environment.
Our community support and encouragement leads to the long term incubation of other organizations (ACT-UP, GLAAD, Gay Men of African Descent and more); the development of our own pioneering projects, including The Pat Parker/Vito Russo Library, The National Gay and Lesbian Archives, and Center CARE Recovery, the first licensed LGBT-specific recovery center in the state; and the cross-pollination of the LGBT community and the general population’s political, government and non-profit organizations, such as Causes in Common, our association of LGBT and reproductive rights groups.
More than 6,000 New Yorkers pass through out doors each week (14 hours a day, seven days a week year-round) to relax in our garden, attend a concert or lecture, evaluate the latest advocacy issues, seek counseling, or simply check their email at the David Bohnett Cyber Center. Three hundred organizations – from singles groups to political clubs to twelve-step programs – make the Center their home.
