Once, I rode my bike while holding a tin can with an open slot in the top, 264 going door to door to raise money for the Jerry Lewis Telethon. I have raced bikes, commutedby bike, advocated for biking, built trails, ridden my bike by moonlight, ridden bikes while in costume, had bikes stolen, turned friends on to riding, and met my husband at a mountain bikefestival. We now share our passion for biking with our son. In truth, I am a better person after I have ridden a bike. But my desire to be on the BABAB goes beyond my long-standingrelationship with bikes. It is intertwined with my vision to see an innovative and sustainable future for cycling in Bozeman, recreational and otherwise. It includes education, safe routes toschool, work and beyond. It includes advocacy, something I did while working for the International Mountain Bicycling Association. Working on the host team for the IMBANational Summit in Washington D.C. was an incredible experience. Dozens of us met with Representatives and Senators to advocate for Safe Routes to School. I want people in theGallatin Valley to have the option of riding their bike to work or the grocery store because there are safe, accessible routes. I want to see families on bike rides together on safe trails.When I see a disconnected bike trail, I want to fix it. This is why I want to serve on your board.
