Eric coordinated BikePGH’s first BikeFest!, a multi-day bicycle festival and celebration, drawing thousands of participants, and continues to this day. Although a native to Eastern PA, he has been in Pittsburgh since 1995, moving here to attend the University of Pittsburgh where he obtained a B.S. in Ecology and Evolution. In college, he fell in love with the bicycle, which then made him fall in love with Pittsburgh. Eric can be reached at erokore@bike-pgh.org
Lou Fineberg - Project ManagerLou returned home to Pittsburgh in 1996 after a stint as a Peace Corps volunteer in Guatemala. For the next six years he rode his bike throughout Pittsburgh barely ever going beyond the city’s limits. His adventure resulted in the 2002 release of Three Rivers on Two Wheels: An Explorer’s Guide to Urban Pittsburgh. That same year he joined local fellow cyclists in helping to start BikePGH. Lou has worn many hats for the organization including his current charge as a staff member. A daily bike commuter unless he’s feeling lazy or climate challenged, Lou is convinced the bicycle is the panacea sought by mystics throughout the ages (he’s 90). He can be reached via e-mail at lou@bike-pgh.org
Rebekah Murray - Intern
Rebekah’s determination to live in a bike-accessible city was fostered by a few trips to Holland in ’02 and ‘04. Since moving to Pittsburgh in ‘06 to wrap up a BA in Sociology at Pitt, she has become equally determined to prove to herself, and others, that Pittsburgh can be the bike friendly city she’s been looking for. Rebekah will be helping us out this summer by coordinating volunteer efforts, working out some planning aspects of our Car Free Fridays initiative, and test running some new membership procurement strategies. She can be reached via email at coordinator@bike-pgh.org.
Jessie Buckner - Intern
Jessie grew up outside of Pittsburgh and discovered the beauty of bike transportation when she moved into the city in 2003. What started as commuting grew into an overall love of bicycles resulting in a stint of bike messengering, working in a bike shop, racing, and now helping out at BikePGH. Jessie will be helping to coordinate the 2009 BikeFest!. She will be putting together events for the calendar, helping organize events, and aiding in party planning. She can be reached at bikefestpgh@bike-pgh.org.
