Bike to work month

Hundreds of commuters kicked off bike month in Hamilton this morning.

It’s bike to work day. Cyclists gathered in Gore Park to fuel up with a snack before heading to work on two wheels.

The program is run by a division of Metrolinx to promote biking as a healthy and environmentally friendly way to get around. As part of their transit plan, they want commuters to incorporate cycling into their route to work.

Organizers shared tips on staying safe and keeping your bike in good shape. Bike month continues through June with workshops and events around the city.
