Premier Indoor Cycling™ Franchise Launches Initiative to Inspire Heart Health, Organizes National Movement

May 02, 2016 // Franchising.com // CINCINNATI - This fall, CycleBar®, the premier indoor cycling franchise, will be unleashing 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.

With the CycleNation™ website launching today, riders can begin signing up for the first events on the “American Beat Tour” in Denver (October 1-2), Atlanta (November 12-13), Cincinnati (October 15-16) and Dallas (November 5-6). In order to participate, teams of four or more members will register with a minimum fundraising goal of $1,000 to reserve a bike for a four-hour period. At the events, CycleBar staff and the AHA/ASA staff will work together to help 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.”

The CycleNation™ American Beat Tour will be taking place October through November. CycleBar and the AHA/ASA will be hosting “city take overs” to fundraise for the AHA/ASA. The take overs will start off with an in-studio rally the night before pop-up fundraising rides, which will be held at strategic microsites in each city. The events will educate the local communities about the importance of CycleBar and the AHA/ASA’s mission.

"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.
