The executive director of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, Leah Shahum, will spend eight months living and cycling in Amsterdam this year, on an unpaid sabbatical.
Shahum, who started working for the organization in 1997, became its executive director in 2003. At that time it had 4,200 members, while today that number has risen to 11,000. Members pay about $35 a year, and those fees plus other donations make up some 60 percent of the bike coalition’s $1 million annual budget.

While Shahum is on this sabbatical in Amsterdam, which starts in May, Renee Rivera, a former chair of the organization’s board of directors, will fill in as acting executive director.
When Shahum returns to San Francisco, she hopes to bring “plenty of fresh ideas and renewed inspiration” from Amsterdam, where, she said, “half of all trips are made by bicycles and where biking is as commonplace as walking.”
