Who We Are…
Break the Cycle is a dynamic urban cycling group, that welcomes both new and seasoned cyclists, all united in “pedaling for a purpose.” Led by the visionary Maurice Hanks, our passionate riders have created a culture of fitness through beginner, intermediate, and competitive riding. We are committed to addressing important causes such as gun violence, child sex trafficking, and health issues impacting communities of color, including breast cancer and lupus awareness. Our cyclists embody the diversity and spirit of South Florida, riding to the beat of their own drum.
Improving Lives, Building Futures Summer Program
With a focus on youth, Break the Cycle launched the Improving Lives, Building Futures Summer Program, designed to introduce cycling to children ages 10-17 while fostering life skills and mindfulness. Our program’s goal is to “break” harmful cycles like gun violence, low graduation rates, high unemployment, and teen pregnancy, which disproportionately affect communities of color.
Our Program
Our summer program is built on five core pillars:
1. Life Skills & Mindfulness
2. Cycling Maintenance & Repair
3. Construction of Bicycle Components & Accessories
4. Financial Literacy & Entrepreneurship
5. Mentorship & Guest Speakers
Participants engaged in mindfulness practices to promote self-awareness and mental health learned money management and entrepreneurship skills and put their knowledge to the test in a Shark Tank-style competition. Weekly mentorship sessions exposed them to professionals ranging from politicians to entrepreneurs, providing inspiration and tools for future success. Hands-on activities included STEM-based workshops, bicycle construction, and tire repair, culminating in a 50-mile ride at the end of summer.
