Featured Board Member - Mighk Wilson

Mighk (pronounced “Mike”) Wilson says he’s been bike commuting for more than 35 years, starting with his first paper route at age 10. If it can be done on a bike he’s probably done it (except for working as a bike messenger). In addition to touring and commuting he’s raced (a bit), mountain-biked (not enough), been an advocate, built mountain bike trails, played bike polo, and met the woman who became his wife and tandem co-pilot (Carol, former Executive Director of Florida Bicycle Association). He’s biked over 150,000 miles and in 37 states (plus Ontario).

In 1987 he toured the U.S., from Orlando to Portland, Maine, to the Oregon coast, and down to Oakland, California. He is a League Cycling Instructor, a regional trainer for the Florida Traffic & Bicycle Safety Education Program, has been a bicycle and pedestrian coordinator for Metroplan Orlando since 1993, and has recently taken on additional duties in smart growth planning and analysis. He received his bachelor’s in Environmental Studies and Growth Management at Rollins College in the spring of 2008. He has served on the board of Florida Bicycle Association since 1999, and is a founding partner of Get Active Orlando.

“Get Active Orlando is important to me because I want people to understand bicycling is not only normal, it is safe, easy, and most of the time fun. With a little education everyone can safely enjoy biking.”
