Step 1
Register
You can ride on a team or you can go Extreme. Whatever you choose, you’re riding for a great cause. Thank you!
Start a Team
Every team needs a strong captain to lead the charge. Simply register your team, pick your location, and then recruit friends, family, and co-workers to join. You can recruit four to eight riders per bike. Team captains are responsible for who rides when during the team’s four-hour session.
Join a Team
In order to join a team, you have to be invited by a captain. If someone you know has started a Cycle team, ask them for the team password so you can register.
Go Extreme
Going Extreme is exactly what it sounds like! Rather than ride with a team, you will ride the entire four hours yourself.

Step 2
Raise Money
100% of the money raised goes directly to battle rare cancers, so every dollar benefits patients. To help each team bike raise and surpass the required $1,000, we’ve created some tips so you can reach your goals. Aim high!
Start Early
The earlier you start fundraising, the more time you’ll have to reach (and surpass) your fundraising goal!
Make a Gift to Yourself
Lead by example and give your fundraising thermometer an immediate boost by making a gift to your ride!
Customize Your Fundraising Page
Once you register, you’ll be able to edit your personal fundraising page in your Cycle Center. Replace the standard message with a personal story about why you’re riding. Add an inspirational photo or video.
Step 3
Ride!
Cycle for Survival is a team cycling event that's both emotionally and physically exhilarating. Be part of an amazing day while knowing you are making a tangible impact on cancer patients and their loved ones.
Ride at a Cycle Event
Cycle for Survival rides are hosted by Cycle’s Founding Partner, Equinox, at locations across the country. Team captains choose a location and reserve enough bikes for their team. All Cycle events occur in February and March.
