This past week, American Heart Association/American Stroke Association kicked off American Stroke Month with the launch of CycleNation. CycleNation is a cycling movement, nationally sponsored by Amgen Cardiovascular and CycleBar, to empower the nation to use road bikes, stationary bikes and community indoor cycling classes to get brain and heart healthy while raising funds to continue to support research and community programs to reduce stroke and heart disease. Nearly 801,000 people in the U.S. die from heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases.
