Our Team

Kim became Director of Community Bike Works in 2013. Under her leadership, the organization has grown to engage more students in a range of cycling, literacy, and leadership programs. Kim was previously a senior staff member at the National Low Income Housing Coalition. She has a bachelor's from Lycoming College and a master's in urban planning and policy from the University of Illinois - Chicago. She is a member of Citizen's Climate Lobby LV and a board member of LANTA.

As Deputy Executive Director, Dave manages all internal operations and current programming. Dave has his bachelor's degree in recreation and leisure services management from East Stroudsburg University. He served in the United States Air Force and has worked at the Crime Victims Council of the Lehigh Valley and at KidsPeace. He enjoys skiing, camping, and coaching youth soccer. Dave is a proud Allentown resident and William Allen High School alum.

Madeline has a dual role at Bike Works: Her mornings are spent managing our database and coordinating other office tasks, and afternoons she runs our Junior Earn a Bike program. Madeline is a graduate of William Allen High School who has always had a desire to work with children. "It’s much more than teaching them tools or how to ride a bike; it's the connection I make with the students that means a lot to me."

 Nella joined CBW in 2022 as a Program Instructor at our Easton location where she helped to expand programming, engage with community and help students become confident riders. She now manages programming in Easton. Having earned a BFA from UArts, bike mechanic knowledge from Genesis and Trek Bicycles, and strong mom know-how from raising her favorite human, Levi, she enjoys providing a creative and inclusive workspace for students to flourish. Nella enjoys keeping vintage bikes road worthy and driving a van full of kids to new adventures. 

 Jeff graduated from Muhlenberg in the Class of ‘22 with a double major in Psychology and Business Administration. After three years of volunteering at our Madison St. Drop-in through Muhlenberg’s Office of Community Engagement, Jeff was brought on staff in a dual role. In the mornings and evenings, he coordinates fundraising and grants, and in the afternoon, he co-coordinates our in-school Jr. Earn a Bike Program. “There’s definitely a lot to learn from our kids. You just have to take the time to listen and never forget to stay silly.”   

Sadie is a Muhlenberg College graduate with a dual degree in Environmental Science and Public Health. Throughout her four years at Muhlenberg, Sadie volunteered at Bike Works for the Drop-in and Earn a Bike programs, which inspired her to continue working with Bike Works after graduating. She loves getting to work and build meaningful relationships with the students. Outside of Bike Works she enjoys hiking, cooking, and spending time with her family.

 Brean has lived a life of bikes since being sent to bike camp at the age of 14. Since then, it has been touring, towning, bike messengering, wrenching, coaching, race directing and racing. Now he is a program instructor in Easton and absolutely LOVES sharing his bike life with the local community and youth, with a particular interest in getting kids to race. When not on the bike, which is rare, you will find Brean doting on his ludicrously spoiled cats or perhaps cross-country skiing. But, tbh, he's probably on a bike right now. 

Reilly was born and raised in the Lehigh Valley and has been riding since age four. Her passion for cycling has everything to do with the Velodrome and their Friday night races, which she attended every week with her dad. She graduated from Lehigh Valley Charter High School of the Arts in 2022 and took an adventurous detour to Los Angeles, before returning to the Valley and finding a place as a Program Instructor at Community Bike Works! In her free time, Reilly enjoys spending time outside, playing bass guitar, or cuddling with one of her seven pets. Her favorite part of working at CBW is being able to form meaningful relationships with the kids of Allentown and seeing the impact of those relationships.
