Bob McBride (for the board position of Chair)
Bob McBride is the incumbent Chair of BikeNewark; he has served three terms. Before serving as Chair, Bob served as Treasurer for one term.
He serves on the Nonprofit Enhancement Committee of The Newark Partnership and as Secretary to the Board of Directors of The Newark Partnership, representing the nonprofit organizations of Newark community. He has worked with WILMAPCO, the City of Newark, and other governmental agencies to improve transportation in the City, focusing on bicycle and pedestrian amenities.
Bob has been a multi-speed bicyclist since 1967 when he first started riding to work/school. He was a founding member of the White Clay Bicycle Club (1973) and is a “recovering” bicycle racer. This year he has led several First Friday Rides and the inaugural Newark Art Alliance Garden Tour by bike. He rides about 60 miles each week, outdoors or in, all year long.
Jacquee Lukawski (for the position of Secretary)
Jacquee Lukawski has always enjoyed the feeling of freedom that bicycling offers but only got back into riding about three years ago, after the positive influence of coworkers at the University of Delaware (UD). She enjoys the annual Bike to Work Day, held on the third Friday in May, and on that same evening competes in the “Commuter Challenge” category of the Monkey Hill Time Trial to raise money for Urban Bike Project and kickoff the Wilmington Grand Prix weekend. Typically, you can find Jacquee riding in Newark to one of the dining halls or restaurants on Main Street via the Delaware Avenue two-way protected bikeway, or taking a lunch-time ride on the James F. Hall trail.
Jacquee serves as Graduate Academic Advisor for the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering at UD and has held multiple roles in nonprofit boards over the past five years.
