ABOUT US
Committee
Stephen McCrory
Chairman
Achim Gloger
Secretary & Webmaster
Stephen is that rare breed, a triathlete who can actually ride a bike in a straight line. In September 2023 he cycled the length of the Rhine. This sounds more ambitious than it actually is: it's all downhill - because water only flows downhill. He is agnostic about bicycle types, switching between his road bike, his hybrid, his Brompton when commuting, or his wife's ebike when he's tired.
Achim is a life-long cyclist. He is Level 2 British Cycling coach and also the only world champion among our membership, having won, to his and his team's surprise, the Veteran's Category of the 2013 Brompton World Championships at the Goodwood Racetrack - on a 2-speed bike, no less!
Nathan Booth
Membership Secretary
Michael Allen
Treasurer
Nathan embodies Active Travel and multi-modal transport, using his bike and the train to commute from Bangor into Belfast. He has set up an Active Travel group at QUB.
Michael would like to make cycling in our borough safe enough for children. We've got work to do!
Keith Lilley
Social Media Coordinator
Like Nathan, Keith has adopted multi-modal travel to commute into Belfast from Bangor. He knows how to read a map - which he should, given that the Royal Geographical Society commended him for "advancing geographical knowledge through GIS* and mapping."
John Wright
Publicity Officer
John has forgotten more about Belfast traffic issues than most DfI employees have ever known. He goes everywhere on his bike and has a clean driving license - because he doesn't own a car. John is a very active and effective environmental campaigner.
* whatever that is... :-)
