Brittany Kirsch
Marathon County
I first got on a bike at the ripe age of 5 and still remember very clearly how excited I was and how free I felt. As an adult, I absolutely still experience that same feeling when I hop on my bike.
Stevens Point is where I call home. I’ve lived here for over 20 years consecutively. I love taking my bike all over the state. I most enjoy bike-packing, but also gravel racing is a huge passion of mine.
For me, being a bike champion for the Wisconsin Bike Federation means I get to share my enthusiasm and excitement for bike riding through bike safety &
education, because when you can safely navigate roadways and trails, you’ll have way more fun!
Daniela Lopez
Milwaukee, Kenosha, Racine, Sheboygan Counties
Daniela was taught how to ride a bike from her two older brothers, and from there, they went on many adventures together. By age five, she was riding to her local grocery store, the Boys & Girls Club, and even along risky roads to get to Walmart. She felt safe knowing her oldest brother guided the way while her middle brother watched from behind.
Reflecting on how dangerous some of those situations were, she now advocates for safer streets for cyclists. She began teaching bike safety with Bublr Bikes and now uses those skills to help adults become confident riders. Daniela is a certified League Cycling Instructor (LCI).
Jacob Klaameyer
Brown, Outagamie, Winnebago Counties
Jacob Klaameyer is a community organizer in Oshkosh, WI focused on actionable sustainability initiatives. You can find Jacob biking around using foraging to encourage native plantings in public spaces and trails, coorganizing a tool library cooperative, repairing electronics, advocating for homeless shelters and affordable villages, fixing bikes professionally and pro bono, and trying to maximize smiles per mile. Help him set new smiles per mile records together in Brown, Outagamie, and Winnebago Counties!
