Moreno joined the BikeMaps team in Fall of 2015. He is based in Vancouver and helps coordinate BikeMaps.org promotion and community outreach efforts in the region. A graduate of SFU’s Faculty of Health Sciences, Moreno completed his thesis research on the impending Vancouver public bike share system. Moreno views cycling as a solution to many health, social, and environmental problems, and as the centrepiece of a more sustainable, egalitarian, and inclusive society.

Darren completed his MSc in the SPAR lab in 2017. He continues his involvement with BikeMaps and MobilityAccess.org, maintaining the websites and mobile apps. When not coding away, Darren enjoys mountain biking, skiing and hiking.

Jaimy joined the BikeMaps team in 2016. She is currently pursuing her MSc with Dr. Meghan Winters at Simon Fraser University. As part of her work, Jaimy will be looking at the link between investment in All Ages and Abilities (AAA) bicycle infrastructure and ridership and safety outcomes. Her work is part of the larger Impacts of Bicycle Infrastructure in Mid-Sized Cities project, and through it she’ll be advancing skills in predictive modelling and spatial analysis approaches to model bicycling exposure and safety.

Michael is currently a Post Doctoral Researcher in the Department of Medicine at the University of British Columbia. As a part of his PhD, Michael used data collected on BikeMaps.org to investigate the link between active transport, health and safety. Michael is looking forward to leveraging the power of crowd-sourced data in order to better understand cycling safety.

Avipsa is a recent graduate student and currently pursuing her PhD with Dr. Trisalyn Nelson at the School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning at Arizona State University. As a part of her PhD, Avipsa will be using data collected on BikeMaps.org to investigate the link between active transport, health and safety in integration with Strava Metro data. Avipsa is interested to better understand cycling exposure and risk by means of latest data analytics and predictive modeling approaches using Python.

Jonathan is a Masters Student at Memorial University of Newfoundland in the Walkabilly Lab, sharing the mission of a physically active Canadian Population. Having been on wheels since his earliest ages, he is passionate about cycling culture, safety and efficacy. Being a part of BikeMaps provides a unique research opportunity to improve bike culture and help more people ride bikes (safely) than ever before.

Jeneva has an M.Sc. in Urban Analytics from the University of Glasgow, and a Bachelor of Arts and Science from Quest University Canada. Her past research has focused on a range of topics related to active transportation: including the optimization of distance-based transit fares and a user-based incentive approach to rebalancing station-based bike-sharing systems. Jeneva is a former Canadian National Wushu (Chinese martials arts) Team member and enjoys spending time doing anything active.

Sandeep is passionate about interactive web maps and data visualizations. Having used GIS for years in a range of industries, he now works as a GIS programmer at Geospatial Research & Solutions at ASU. He enjoys exploring the colorful Sonoran landscapes around Phoenix in his free time.

Zahin is a student at the Memorial University of Newfoundland pursuing his BSc in Computer Science. His work at Bike Maps involves development and maintenance of the website. Zahin enjoys biking and playing soccer whenever not in front of his keyboard.

Ben was BikeMaps.org’s first graduate student and was instrumental in the successful outreach in the early days of BikeMaps.org. For his MSc research, Ben compared ridership data collected manually to those using crowdsourced apps such as Strava (http://bit.ly/2af2Cpc). Ben’s research also used data collected on BikeMaps.org to study incidents at multiuse trail and road intersections.
