Leah Shahum led the 10,000-member San Francisco Bicycle Coalition for 12 years, building it into one of the largest and strongest advocacy groups in the city, significantly growing the citywide Bike Network and the number of people riding in the city. She is now the director of the Vision Zero Network, advocating nationally for the elimination of all traffic deaths and severe injuries.
