Amazon Canada has hosted a bike day in celebration of the company’s recent donation of $63,000 to Hamilton Bike Share.
Local employees rode from Bayfront Park to city hall on Monday morning for a cheque presentation.
Hamilton Mayor Fred Eisenberger said it’s a private-sector contribution that will help keep the network of more than 800 bikes on the road.
“These resources will be well used to promote bike share in our community,” said Eisenberger.
