Casey Ashenhurst is no stranger to cycling in NYC. She's Director of WE Bike NYC, an organization of women who aim to break down barriers to cycling and build community by offering free social rides, training rides, and educational workshops. She's an every-day commuter, regularly goes on group rides with WE Bike NYC, and has cycled in the TD Five Boro Bike Tour more than a few times. Casey's Mom, Jenny, is more accustomed to cycling the wide open roads around her home in the midwest at an easy pace.

Susan Lindell, the shop manager at Recycle-A-Bicycle in DUMBO, Brooklyn, provides an in-depth look at chain lubrication in the first edition of TechTips.

Karen Overton is, simply put, an NYC bicycle rock star. Bike New York is over the moon to be joining forces with Karen and Recycle-A-Bicycle, her legendary community organization that uses the bicycle to foster youth development, environmental education, community engagement, and healthy living.
