I am a NYC-based urban planner trying to make cycling more accessible and convenient. I bike everywhere in New York and find it to be the fastest way to get around. Prior to working on Social Bicycles full-time, I worked for the NYC Department of Transportation in the bike program where I sited bike racks, edited the bike map, and conducted research for bike lanes.
