Brett Hondorp, AICP

I’ve been lucky to have some great bike commutes over the years. In college, my ride took me from downtown Santa Cruz up to UCSC along a bike path through the Great Meadow. In DC, I took a route through Arlington Cemetery, across the Potomac and on pathways past the Lincoln Memorial and reflecting pool. In San Francisco, I joined the stream of cyclists heading downtown on Valencia and Market Streets. My current route in Oakland-Berkeley is almost entirely on Bicycle Boulevards that carry more bikes than cars. In each case I have never considered any other means of travel – bicycling is the easiest, cheapest, fastest, and least stressful way to get around. I became a transportation planner in large part because of my experiences cycling, with the goal of improving our transportation networks so that everybody would feel as comfortable out on their bike as I do. I feel fortunate to have a job where I can help communities all over the country to create great bike commutes for their residents.
