Ben Caldwell brings to the Board a valuable and needed perspective on youth and family bicycling issues in San Francisco. As Coordinator of the Presidio YMCA's Bicycle Program, a partnership with the SFBC and the MTA which brings bicycle safety education into schools across the city, he confronts daily the issues standing in the way of more kids and families riding their bikes more often in SF, from the absence of separated bikeways (problems faced by all bicyclists) to a dire lack of bike racks at schools. Ben is hopeful that the work we do is inspiring the next generation of bicyclists riding for everyday transportation in our city.

Mo Devlin is currently the Senior Accountant at the San Francisco County Transportation Authority. Prior to that her career is a mix of accounting at private and non-for-profit organizations, project management, and English-as-a-Second Language Teacher, and she is fluent in Spanish. She hopes that the skills from her mutt-like career, combined with a soon to be minted MBA will help her bike-advocacy efforts. Of particular interest is to encourage more people to develop the biking habit, and help them liberate from 4-wheels. Work and advocacy aside, Mo lives to bike, and most likely has either just finished a ride or is scheming her next one.

Holly has been a member since 1999, when she joined as a way to honor a loved one who was hit and killed while biking in NYC. SFBC's mission to make streets safe for bikes, people and cars is heartfelt for her. Bikes -- and the people who ride them -- are a fun, dynamic, vital part of San Francisco's landscape, and she likes to see SFBC and our members thrive.
