Tyler Dewey
Tyler has served as BikeAthens executive director since 2012. He joined BikeAthens after graduating from Michigan State College of Law and two years in Peace Corps Kazakhstan. Tyler grew up around bikes—he celebrated his first birthday on a family bike tour—but he did not realize how much of an impact a bike could have until he volunteered for BikeAthens. Having seen how many folks in Athens need the freedom a bike can provide, Tyler believes more than ever that a bikeable Athens is a more lively, vibrant, fair and just Athens.

Scott joined BikeAthens as the Program Director in September 2018 after having volunteered nearly 2,000 hours since 2015. In February 2016, Scott started Fix Your Own Bike sessions on Thursday nights as a way to expand programming at the shop. His involvement with BikeAthens combines two passions. He enjoys working as a bike mechanic to directly improve the lives of members of the community. He also gets to use his knowledge of nonprofit administration to strengthen BikeAthens as a community resource for partner organizations. Scott holds a Master of Public Administration degree from the University of Georgia.
