VICE CHAIRPERSON – Ciarán Fitzgerald
Commuting to work, bike touring in other countries and competing in ultra endurance races are some of the many things my bike allows me to do.
I want to show people that cycling is a safe and enjoyable way to see the world.
SECRETARY- Ruth O’ Connor
My trusty steed is a Surly Long Haul Trucker, a hefty but seriously reliable tourer that had yet to let me down.
It gets me from A to B, whether that’s from home to work, the beach to the pub or from Rosslare to Dubrovnik!
My particular area of interest in WexBUG is encouraging more women and girls to hop on their bikes, and advocating for safe, inclusive spaces for this to happen.
TREASURER – Dave Murphy
I’m a manager with Irish Rail and love nothing more than getting out on the bike be it for a race, a sportive, a group spin with my club Rossbury Racing Team or simply looking over ditches on the back roads of Wexford and beyond (when we are allowed again).
I’m delighted to be involved with such a positive group as Wexbug and have made some new friends as well.
COMMITTEE – Cllr. Leonard Kelly
Lapsed Cyclist but living in hope of changing this on a regular basis.
Actually I will change this, as I will continue to push for meaningful positive change in cycle infrastructure (in my role as a County Councillor and Mayor of Wexford) in Wexford Town and county.
And in doing so hopefully encourage lapsed and future cyclists of all ages and abilities to get on their bike.
COMMITTEE – Hazel Reid
Lives in Wexford town, parent and academic tutor.
Hopeful about many things, in particular seeing cycling for all ages become a safe and normal way to get about in Ireland.
Uses a bike to get around often alone, but when possible with the kids.
