Seth Bush

ADVOCACY MANAGER – Seth (he/him) grew up in Doylestown, PA near Philadelphia and moved to Pittsburgh for college at Pitt in 2008 where he fell in love with biking as a way to explore the city and get around. After college, he spent four years advocating for climate action and environmental justice in Baltimore with Sierra Club, and moved back to the Pittsburgh area in 2017 to work as a coach and trainer for social change leaders. When he’s not helping local bike/ped committees transform our streets, you can find Seth walking his dog Riker around his neighborhood in Swissvale, helping neighbors fix their bikes, or pretending he knows what he’s doing in his garden. Seth can be reached at seth@bikepgh.org.
