Traci Liebig
Conservation Specialist, WVU

Traci made her first bike commute during Bike to Work Week in 2007. She started as a way to reduce gas emissions from her vehicle and save money on gas, but quickly found she enjoyed the quiet time she had in the morning and evening to gear up and decompress from her day. She bikes from her home near the football stadium to the downtown campus.

Terry Nebel
Technology Specialist
WVU Office of Information Technology

Terry has been biking to work from his home in Jerome Park since 1999. He originally started biking as a way to avoid high gas bills from driving large vehicles. He is happy to avoid Morgantown traffic on the rail trail, but admits it can be a challenge with snow and ice in the winter.
