It's been awhile since we have done a commuter profile. One of the things that providing the Bike Valet for the Riverside Arts Market (RAM) has done is allow us to meet cyclists from of every ilk and from every corner of Jax.
Meet Donna Moore. She has been one of the many weekly users of bike valet. She has been such a regular visitor to the bike valet that she is now one of our newest Bike Valet Volunteer and will being helping us out at RAM.
Donna is a transportation coordinator for H J Heinz, a certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor, along with being a member of Hands on Jacksonville.
