Meet the Ride2School Team

The Ride2School team is passionate about getting more students riding and walking to school more often.

 

Jeff McPhan

Ride2School Facilities Manager

Jeff’s role within the Behaviour Change team allows him to focus on the journey to school. That is, improving the facilities and infrastructure between home and the school gate. With a Bachelor of Recreation Management and having worked in local councils, Jeff is passionate and proud about the work he is now doing toward improving the physical activity levels of children and seeing them enjoy riding to school.

PROFILE: Jeff really enjoys getting out in the great outdoors camping and catching a bigger fish than his brother! He rides his bike for pure enjoyment, as what better way is there to see the world than on a bike? You'll also see Jeff around Melbourne racking up the kilometres commuting to work each day.

 

 

Georgie Fyfe-Jamieson

 Ride2School Schools and Volunteer Co-ordinator

Georgie's passion for cycling and motivation to inspire kids to get active and ride to school sees her as a fantastic asset to Bicycle Network Victoria's Ride2School team. Georgie has faced many challenges but brought about much success in running successful programs in London, now bringing this to Melbourne and beyond!

PROFILE: Georgie loves adventure and the outdoors, and combining this with riding is the perfect holiday - in 2010 Georgie spent two weeks cycling the length of Britain, 956 miles, with panniers loaded with tents, cooking stoves and lots of food for fuel to keep on pedalling!

Alex Hender

 Ride2School Project Coordinator

Alex is one of Bicycle Network’s behaviour change project coordinators. He is keen to use his skills and experience to get more students riding, walking, scootered and otherwise actively travelling to school, more often. His favourite way to get to appointments with schools and other stakeholders is by cargo bike. It shows that we’re serious about our riding!

PROFILE: Being car-free for over two years now, Alex finds the best way to explore the City of Melbourne is by riding plenty of kilometres on the weekends; the destination is often less important than the journey.
