Board Leadership

The PeopleForBikes Coalition and Foundation boards of directors as well as the BPSA Trade Association Committee members include executives from leading companies in the U.S. bicycle industry. Their collective experience and commitment to better bicycling guide the PeopleForBikes vision. All board members are independent voting members. We also have six PeopleForBikes Coalition subcommittees. We encourage leaders from member companies to join and be part of our mission to create an environment where bicycling and bike businesses thrive.
