Dr. Tyler Termeer announced that the 2025 AIDS LifeCycle ride will be the last, attributed to declining ridership and increasing event costs, despite raising over $300 million since 1994.
With ridership having fallen to 1,400 in 2024 from a post-COVID surge of 2,500, the San Francisco AIDS Foundation cited prohibitive costs as a reason to conclude the event.
The AIDS LifeCycle, a 545-mile annual bike ride, has significantly raised awareness for HIV and AIDS services, with its final ride mobilizing past riders to participate.
Despite its conclusion, the event's legacy will continue with the vital funds and awareness raised over its 31-year history, spotlighting the ongoing need for HIV testing and prevention.
