Kevin
Board Vice President
Kevin is a bike commuting bioengineer. As a huge proponent for bicycle advocacy and inclusivity, he wants to bring his passion for riding to others. He enjoys a good bike-packing adventure and the subsequent well-earned brew and food after a long day of riding.
Alex
Board Member
Alex is a fair weather rider who loves to go fast down hills. Biking has been a tool for her to connect deeper with land, community, and self. While not biking, you can probably find her watching (or talking about) reality tv and taking selfies with her cats.
Husain
Merchandising Lead
Brian
Outreach Lead
Brian didn't learn to ride a bike until late high school and has made up for lost time by riding nearly every day since.
He considers biking to be his favorite cross-training for his true passion in life, eating.
Bry
Board Member
Bry considers herself a transportation professional and a sometimes ride coordinator who has for years enjoyed the physical and mental joys and challenges the bicycle presents as a mode and as an object. Traveling short and longer distances by bike and picking up some DIY maintenance knowledge along the way is all part of the adventure. Bry believes in the uncanny ability of a good ride to bring people together and improve moods all around.
She is very into getting more butts on bikes and enjoying being outside together.
Katie
Board Member
Katie loves airplanes, the color blue, and being on her bike. In her free time she can be found perusing second hand stores and biking around town. She is passionate about sustainability and food equity and would love to talk to you about the circular economy and community care.
