  Rebecca Serna, Executive Director  

Rebecca Serna has served as ABC's Executive Director since late 2007. She holds a Master’s degree from Georgia State in Urban Policy Studies, specializing in Planning and Nonprofit Management. Serna got involved in bicycle advocacy through an internship with the Georgia DOT’s Bicycle and Pedestrian program, where she helped write the Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Action Plan and monitored state projects for compliance with local bike plans. She draws on her experience as a Fulbright scholar in Bogotá, Colombia, where she studied participatory planning practices and innovative public transportation projects. Serna co-founded Citizens for Progressive Transit, speaks Spanish, and rides a blue bicycle to get places and for healthy fun. She serves on the boards of Georgia Bikes (as vice-president) and Earth Share of Georgia.

Drue Hocker, Program & Membership Coordinator

Drue began working full time with ABC in May 2011. He first got involved as an Advocacy Intern and volunteer, and currently resides with his long-term girlfriend and two dogs in Atlanta. While pursuing his BS in Psychology at Berry College, Drue rekindled his love of bicycles, and spent his free time riding endless miles of forest roads and single-track trails. In addition to mountain biking, he loves exploring the Atlanta area on his road bike and riding with friends on his single speed. He is currently trying to spend less time in a car.
