Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences: I'm the President of the Gallatin
Valley Bicycle Club and advocate of all forms of cycling. I've commuted by bike both in Bozeman and in
Minneapolis for the past several years and get around town primarily by bicycle. I'm interested in
encouraging more Bozemanites to ride their bikes around town, especially for those shorter trips. I think
the bicycle is a fantastic way to experience Bozeman and envision a future of healthier residents, less
pollution, lower dependence on fossil fuels, and more economical transportation. Also, I believe that a
bicycle friendly city is great for small businesses, especially in a town like Bozeman with our terrific Main
St. corridor.
