Bicycle Advocate Award
Tracy BesekFive years ago, Tracy used a simple hashtag on social media to highlight her love of bicycling with her son around her hometown: #BikeDearborn. It has since evolved into the grassroots group that exists today. Not only did she found the organization, but she is also an advocate for bicycling infrastructure improvements in Dearborn and was the major player involved in getting the City of Dearborn to pass a 5-foot passing law in 2017. Through Tracy’s dedication, determination and passion for bicycling, Dearborn, the hometown of Henry Ford and Ford Motor Company, is quickly becoming a leading bicycle-friendly city.
