George Gerstle, a Boulder native, recently retired as Boulder County Transportation Director where he led the Department in becoming more multimodal, managed recovery from the 2013 floods, and led development of the first County Transportation Master Plan (and rode his clunker bike to work almost every day). Prior to his time at Boulder County, George worked in multiple roles at CDOT, including Multimodal Planning Manager, Environmental Policy Manager, and other roles in the environmental area. George has also worked for EPA, as Policy Advisor to Governor Roy Romer, for the State Air Pollution Control Division and for the local regional transportation planning agency in Monterey California.

Joseph bought his first bike, used, in 1976 for $2.00. He rode that single speed — pink with tassels — bike up and down west Arapahoe Avenue for much of his elementary school life. Although not a native, he has lived in Boulder since toddlerhood. Since giving up the pink one, he has purchased a few more, and tries to ride every day, year round. Whether that ride is commuting to work, riding up Flagstaff before sunrise, mountain biking on a local trail or on an indoor trainer, he is grateful for the huge beneficial impact cycling has had on his life. After seeing the impact C4C had on the devastated communities of Jamestown and Lyons (where Joseph graduated from High School) he knew he needed to join their efforts and start giving back to the communities who have supported him all these years.

Bio coming.

For over 20 years, Mike has been building private-sector businesses that scale - often faster
than expected and occasionally more profitably than planned. He’s led global sales teams,
closed record-breaking deals, and helped take products from scrappy startups to household
names (sometimes literally, via Home Depot).

At C4C, he gets to blend his professional obsession with positive outcomes with his personal obsession with cycling in a non-profit way; helping optimize policy, advocacy, fundraising and community outreach to help make the roads in Boulder County safer for cyclists and motorists.

On the rare occasion when he’s not being dropped by his buddies, you can find him watching bike races, skiing in the backcountry, obsessing about his weight, walking his dogs, and of course, making sure his wife is the happiest girl in the world.

David grew up exploring wooded areas near his home in Virginia on Schwinn Stingrays and other dirt bikes. Separately he pursued his passion for the outdoors in Boy Scouts, having the opportunity to see many parts of the country through amazing camping and backpacking trips. Everything came together when he moved to Colorado to pursue a graduate degree in atmospheric and oceanic sciences at CU-Boulder. Biking became a way to commute to school, but also quickly became an amazing means to see the outdoors (in addition to running, which he picked up at the same time). Realizing the importance of preserving our public lands and building and maintaining trails and multi-use paths to visit them, he became involved in a variety of advocacy groups. He served as a board member and chair of the Boulder Area Trails Coalition as well as in similar roles with the City of Louisville open space advisory board. Now he is looking to contribute to Coalition 4 Cyclists in any way that he can, but has particular interests in expanding safe bike routes in East Boulder County and developing relationships with bike shops, clubs, and organizations county-wide as a part of C4C's Boulder County Cycling Community. When he's not working his day job as a senior quality assurance engineer at Bertram Labs, he can be found biking, running, hiking, cross country skiing, and kayaking. His #1 passion on the bike right now is gravel biking, but also road bikes and mountain bikes.
