She has a BA in Geography with a keen interest in urban landscapes and programs that influence citizen behaviour. She is a life-long cyclist and her passion for encouraging sustainable transportation and lighter living is reflected in the work she does.​ She has been exploring cities by bike for over 40 years and loves encouraging others to do the same! She sits on the board of the Historical Society of Ottawa and often looks to the past to understand how today’s urban spaces came to be. After her workplace moved to an all virtual workspace, Jen decided to join the CycleFitChicks Club in 2021 to make up for her lost daily commutes! She has enjoyed the great rides and meeting a wonderful group of women as they explore the Ottawa-Gatineau area by bike! She always seems to have a fun fact to share about wherever she ends up! About Let’s Bike Month Let’s Bike Month is an annual campaign that encourages people to try cycling as a fun and healthy transportation option.
