Staff

David Watson, Executive Director
I’m MassBike’s Executive Director, and I love riding bicycles. I’m a bike commuter, a road rider, a mountain biker, a singlespeeder, and a multi-modal folding biker. I read bike magazines and blogs, collect bike movies, and get my hands greasy working on bikes. When I’m not advocating for bicyclists, I take bicycling vacations. One-track mind? More like a one-cog mind! OK, two cogs – I also like coffee. (email)(blog posts)

Price Armstrong, Program Manager
I started with MassBike as a volunteer for the Pioneer Valley Chapter, coordinating Northampton’s Bike Commute Week events in 2008. After a few years in Oregon, I’m excited to be back in the Bay State. As Program Manager, I am a jack-of-all-trades, overseeing the education program and doing outreach and advocacy. When I’m not on my bike, I can probably be found reading a book on 19th-century American history.

Austin Rand, Membership and Office Coordinator

I am MassBikes Membership and Office Coordinator and I love riding bicycles! I grew up here in Massachusetts and I fell in love with bicycling while  mountain biking in my local town forest and riding on the quiet roads of Central Mass. I  have spent the past six years in Colorado where I got my undergraduate degree and developed an even stronger passion for all things bicycle.  When I am not riding one of my trusty steeds you can find me running, skiing, or reading a good book.

Instructors:

Elaine Formica, Pioneer Valley

I love sharing my passion for riding bikes. In addition to teaching for Mass Bike, I’m the co-owner of and guide for Ride Noho, a bicycling touring company in Northampton Massachusetts. When I’m not riding my road bike, I’m skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, riding my mountain bike, or just spending time outdoors.

Kirsten Grieshaber, Boston Metro

I love all things outdoors and athletic, and enjoy two-wheeled exploration as a mountain biker, road rider, and commuter. When I’m not teaching classes for MassBike or pedaling for fun, you’re likely to find me savoring my career as a health coach, skiing, snowboarding, swimming, or otherwise meandering on a beach or in the mountains.

Rob Miceli, Cape and Islands

In addition to being the President of the MassBike Cape and Island Chapter, I’m happy to be an instructor for MassBike. I’m also a member of the Massachusetts Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board, past president and co-founder of Mad About Cycling, and owner of Cotuit Cycling Tours. I love sharing my passion for riding bikes and am interested in anything and everything about bikes.

Galen Mook, Boston Metro

Since coming to Boston in 2003, I’ve been a figure in Boston’s bicycle community; founding a student bike group at Boston University, organizing workshops for fledgling bike commuters, toting folks through the scenic streets of Boston in a pedicab, leading bike rides for students in the City’s public schools, fixing up the Hubway bikes for Boston’s own bikeshare system, and even playing a makeshift drumset while biking in group rides with my “jambike” (see the picture). My hope is that everyone, from kids to grandparents, will feel comfortable and confident when riding a bicycle.
