Scott Bricker is unrelenting in his mission. As executive director and one of the founders of BikePGH, the Lawrenceville-based bicycle advocacy group, Bricker constantly tries to improve the lot of two-wheeled travelers. Whether it is working with the city, the state’s new Pennsylvania Bikes and Walks group, or planning events to spread awareness of cycling, Bricker wants everyone to know bicycling is more than a recreation; it is a form of transportation that is valid for commuting and running errands as well.

Bricker, 33, is a native of Chippewa, Beaver County, who graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in 1999 with a degree in public policy and management and a focus on environmental issues. He then bicycled cross-country, ended up in San Francisco and began his career there.

After about two years, he returned to Pittsburgh and was a key in the founding the BikePGH in 2002.

Under Bricker’s guidance, the group has taken on an ever-growing advocacy role.

Childhood hero and why:

Han Solo. He made the Kessel Run in the Millennium Falcon less than 12 parsecs.
