Campaign Story
I'm so proud to serve as the inaugural Bicycle Mayor of Keene (and the very first Bicycle Mayor in the United States). With our community partners, we have identified three areas that I will focus on during my two year term: education, connection and creation.
Education
As the Monadnock region’s only certified cycling instructor, I will set up cycling education classes that teach our community to drive and ride strong. I will also work to get other certified cycling instructors in the region.
Connection
I am committed to connecting the existing resources in our region – organizations, businesses and municipalities -- that support a shared future of confident riders and supported infrastructure. Also, I will connect local colleges, university and businesses with the benefits of bicycle-friendly programming. I will connect our region of riders by launching initiatives such as Bike Kitchens, Bike Shares, and Community Rides.
Creation
I will create an online hub that connects our community of riders with opportunities to know your neighbor and share many voices from the saddles in our region.

Blinkers for Bicycles - WingLights
As Bicycle Mayor and a regular bicycle commuter, I am always searching for innovative, effective ideas that strengthen my ride. WingLights are one of those ideas. They attach to the ends of your handlebar and use technology that drivers already understand: Blinkers! Lasting longer than an arm raise, and brighter than your skin tone, these bright lights provide a world of visibility. You know where you are going. Let the folks behind you know the same. Ride strong with WingLights, the Dragons’ Den-winning product (UK version of Shark Tank) that featured on Forbes’ Top Cycling Products for 2017.
