Laurel Leckert
Laurel has been cycling since she was a toddler falling asleep on the back of mom's bike, and biking has been her primary mode of transportation since she moved to Brooklyn in 2005. She's worked with lots of bike-related community organizations, including the Time's Up, New York Bike Dance, the Cargo Bike Collective, Bike Adventure, and the Freegan Bike Workshop. Lately biking is her main source of income, as well: she currently works as a mechanic for NYC Bike Share (CitiBike). Along with a crew of other badass ladies, she also teaches a free weekly mechanics class for women and trans folk at Time's Up.
