Bike for Africa, the May 30 family friendly fundraiser to send bikes and bike ambulances to HIV/AIDS community healthcare workers in Malawi, held a short preliminary event Monday at Toronto City Hall with a noon hour concert featuring Juno nominees Mr. Something Something and Pumps, Pumps, Pumps.

“For us cycling is an issue of recreation, transportation and city planning,” said Mike Brcic, Executive Director, Bikes Without Borders. “In other parts of the world a bike can mean the difference between life and death.”
