I write a column on bicycling issues for Patch. I have worked for the League of Illinois Bicyclists since 2006 and have been an avid bicyclist for a lot longer. I was a newspaper reporter, both full-time and freelance, for more than a decade. While working for a newspaper, my colleagues actually recommended that a find a job with a bicycling group. I interned with the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation (now the Active Transportation Alliance) before landing my gig with LIB and am actively involved with the Chicago Area Mountain Bikers and help out with registration for the Chicago Cross Series.

After college, I first got into mountain biking after a brief hiatus of not riding while in college. I now own and ride mountain bikes, road bikes and cyclocross bikes and ride my bike for fun, fitness, racing and commuting. I have a five-year-old son and hope to instill a love of bicycling in him as well as be an example of someone who is active as well as that the car does not have to be the only mode of transportation.

I will write about biking issues as I come up with them and hope that Patch readers will contact me as well with what they want to read about.
