Last week, the Mayor of Atlanta, Georgia announced that Becky  has been hired as City Hall’s first-ever chief bicycle officer. She will be “tasked with planning bike accessibility projects and asking the community for input, among a wide range of other activities. Those duties include overseeing the city’s still-in-the-works bike-share program, writing grants and making sure development plans jibe with Cycle Atlanta and the Connect Atlanta plan.” See more on the press release.
