As the founder and Executive Director of GObike I have been fortunate to turn a hobby into a job. I love to bicycle—whether it’s for errands, enjoyment, or long excursions to exercise. Only when you’re on two wheels do you get to see the rich diversity of all the people and small intricate details of our buildings and places, which make our city unique.

I'm so excited to be leading communications at GObike. We're growing an informed and passionate coalition of Western New Yorkers who want to see a safe, accessible, and sustainable transportation network of complete streets that connects communities, not divides them.

As the community workshop director, I've learned that wrenching on bikes is a never-ending journey. But one of the most valuable lessons I've learned is that bikes are the ultimate vehicle for building community. Visit our community workshops, and you might learn a new skill, but you’ll definitely leave with new friends.

After a 2019 New Year’s resolution to drive less, I discovered the convenience, savings, and joy of using public transit and a bike to get to and from work, errands, and outings. I’ve been known to preach the benefits of sustainable transportation options to friends, family, and the occasional stranger at parties, I now get to do it for a living.

I've been working on bikes since I was a kid. I love fixing them, helping other people fix theirs, and of course - riding them! See you at Open Shop!

Program Manager, GO Buffalo Niagara

Christine Krolewicz, MUP, AICP

Being car-free for a year, I learned not only how to use bike and transit infrastructure, but also how to utilize my network of family, friends, and neighbors so I wouldn't miss a beat. I'm happy to now be sharing these kinds of resources through the GO Buffalo Niagara program to help businesses, places, and individuals find creative transportation solutions. In a country built for cars, driving solo may be the easiest option, but certainly not the most interesting!

As a Buffalo resident who walks, runs, bikes, buses, and takes the train almost every day, I am fond of this city and want to see it grow in equal parts. To me, sustainable transportation options and complete streets are part of what makes a city not only livable, but enjoyable. I am thrilled to contribute my passion and knowledge to an organization dedicated to enhancing these elements in Western New York. Together, we are actively shaping a better future for our community!

A Buffalo resident all my life, I've always been inspired by the fabric of our region's past, and the history - from the blunders to the brilliance - behind the built world around us. My goal as Community Engagement Manager for GObike is to impart our mission of complete streets and accessible mobility options to a growing number of Western New Yorkers, and empower my neighbors to partake in shaping our shared future by voicing their demands for safer, smarter streets, and a healthier Buffalo for future generations.

After discovering the joy of biking in 2020, it has unlocked a world of new opportunities for me.

City-biker since 2012, but still learning tricks of the trade (rain pants, wow!). I study Biology and Education at Buffalo State and am interested in how learning happens outside of the classroom—particularly in climate science, safety, and sustainability. I’m so happy to work with GO Buffalo Niagara in supporting a transportation culture that’s smarter and safer for our communities.
