John Zappa

Chief Rider

Hi! I am a bike commuter. I also like to run, stay active and enjoy the outdoors. My first stint as a bike commuter was in Barcelona, Spain as an exchange student - I rode to school each day and easily stood out since I was the only person on a bicycle wearing a helmet!. Later, I commuted to work in Pittsburgh (along the Allegheny River) by bike. And for the past 15 years I have commuted to work in Chicago on my Surly (Long-Haul Trucker). ​

Chief Spokesperson

Contact Paul

Hello! I am Paul and I’ve been bike commuting for over 9 years. I started in Boulder, Colorado, where biking was the easiest way to get to the university. Between the mountains and town I fell in love with my bike commute. I kept the tradition alive during my Peace Corps service in Malawi as well in Chicago. Commuting to me provides an important space for activity and reflection. Nowadays I ride a fixed wheel maroon Nishiki.
