MIAMI, FL (BRAIN)—Just recently 10 new AfricaBikes were spotted around Miami, Florida, donated to the city's Ronald McDonald House.
The new sets of wheels come compliments of New York/New Jersey-based cancer drug company ImClone Systems. Why? Because ImClone Systems chief executive officer is an avid cyclist, and after reading a recent article about Kona's BikeTown Africa program in Bicycling magazine he wanted to help.
The 10 new AfricaBikes were assembled and constructed by former Bicycling editor-in-chief Steve Madden and 80 sales representatives from ImClone Systems. After the AfricaBikes were greased-up and ready for riding, they were then donated to Miami's Ronald McDonald House. Here, the bikes will be ridden by parents whose kids are in the local hospitals battling cancer.
