Christmas bikes instead of Christmas songs is how a local internet radio station helped residents get in the holiday spirit.
SoulNet WKDH, a southeast Gainesville-based internet radio station, hosted a bike giveaway at the Goodbike Trailside Bike Shop located at 210 NW Tenth Ave. on Saturday.
SoulNet WKDH General Manager Kenneth Harden said he created the giveaway to help lift the spirits of children this holiday season, especially during the pandemic.
“With the COVID-19 pandemic and people being out of work, we’re trying to help the community,” Harden said. “Parents may be out of work and may not have the support to pay for a bike.”
