CycleNation

CycleNation™ coming to Cincinnati to raise funds and awareness for American Heart Association CINCINNATI (September 22, 2016) -- This fall, CycleBar®, the premier indoor cycling franchise, will unleash the power of cycling through a dynamic collaboration with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. With the shared goal of helping Americans regain control of their health through exercise, the two parties have joined forces to create the CycleNation™ movement, a nation-wide phenomenon that will bring cycling charity events to cities across the nation. CycleNation in Cincinnati will take over two unique locations in the downtown area on Saturday, Oct. 15 and Sunday, Oct. 16. On Saturday, there will be two rides at Top of The Park, 506 East Fourth Street, at 8 a.m. to noon and 1:00 pm to 5:00 p.m. On Sunday, Oct. 16 from 1 to 5 p.m., Washington Park, 1230 Elm Street, will host 200 bikes with live music, the Bengals game on the big screen and family-friendly activities. Riders can sign up for in Cincinnati cycling events at www.CycleNation.org. In order to participate, teams of four or more members must register to reserve a bike for a four-hour period with each rider cycling for one hour, relay-style. Participants are encouraged to make a donation to support the American Heart Association. At the events, CycleBar staff and the AHA/ASA staff will work together to create an energetic, intoxicating class experience that promotes strong heart and brain health. “We’re so pleased that the AHA/ASA chose CycleBar as the organization that will help bring active, heart-healthy lifestyles to the nation through the power of cycling. The health benefits of CycleBar and the brand’s community involvement are a perfect match with the AHA/ASA,” said Heather Harris, president of CycleBar®. “Pairing AHA/ASA’s long history of educating and inspiring people to get active with the high energy, infectious spirit of CycleBar will rejuvenate and motivate healthy, active lifestyles across the country.” "Continuing our relationship with CycleBar and increasing the scale of our events through CycleNation is an effective way to not only reach more people, but share a more meaningful message about heart disease and stroke prevention," said Dr. Nieca Goldberg, cardiologist and AHA/ASA spokesperson. "Being able to combine our message about heart and brain health with the great cardio workout that cycling provides is a powerful way to underline the importance of taking control of your health through exercise." CycleBar® has a history of working together with the AHA/ASA to find energetic and entertaining ways to raise money for the national organization with its CycleGiving™ charitable efforts. This past August, they teamed up to put on a “Rock the Bridge” cycling event on the People Purple Bridge in Cincinnati for the AHA/ASA. CycleBar is elated to be chosen as a national sponsor of the AHA/ASA’s CycleNation™ Movement to continue collaborating on high-energy fundraising events.
