COVID has been a funny time (in the most not-actually-funny way possible.) I’ve been working from home since late February but have managed to be more involved in the bike world, meet more new people and I think ride my bike more miles than I would in a regular year. I think the pandemic has made me shift perspective and spend time doing the things I really love, which surprising no one is biking, talking about bikes and equitable transportation, and learning about rad work other folks are doing in this area.
It was during the latter that I first learned about today’s Mover and Shaker, Yes Segura. We were both attending “Black in the Saddle” a livestreamed round table discussion about the Black Cycling experience. I noticed Yes’ comments in the chat and was immediately intrigued. I reached out to get to know him and am so happy I did.
Yes is a true Mover and Shaker in every sense of the word. He is the Chair of YPT Seattle, active in Seattle Neighborhood Greenways Whose Streets? program, runs his own consulting business, and is the Director of Communications for YPT International. Pretty damn impressive.
Without further ado, Let’s Get to Know Yes Segura!
