Jared rediscovered cycling several years ago as a sensible way to cover the few miles he’d once driven, and he quickly realized that cycling could change not just his life but the landscape of his community. He soon became an ABC member and began working to help Atlanta realize its potential as a truly livable city, one that offers a unique and beautiful urban experience despite its reputation for traffic and sprawl. Jared joined the ABC Board in late 2010.

Andrea Hatter is new to the ABC board and to bicycle commuting. After moving into the heart of Atlanta from the ‘burbs, she picked up a folding bike for her daily commute. One month later, she met Rebecca Serna at a BeltLine event and became an avid participant of Heels on Wheels. The rest, as they say, is history.

Andrea has lived in the Metro-Atlanta area for 10 years as a freelance graphic designer and writer, in addition to her consistent employment at the AJC. With the pseudonym “Madeline Hatter,” she is a published author of an unromantic comedy, Lookin’ in the Mirror.
