Doug Haney is the owner and founder of Bike Adirondacks. Before that, he worked with the Women’s Sports Foundation and U.S. Olympic Committee before (lucky for him) landing in the Adirondacks in 2001 to continue working with the Olympic movement. That experience led to 12 years in major event management and elite athlete communications with U.S. Ski and Snowboard, a career that included five Olympic Games.

In addition to BikeADK, he owns GreatRange, a marketing and communications firm dedicated to producing high quality graphics, beautiful websites and impactful marketing and messaging strategies.

He lives in Saranac Lake with his wife Kat and their two happy teens, Gwen and Liesl.

Doug Kelley is working to use bikes and bike infrastructure to enhance sustainability, community, and equity. He is a year-round bike commuter, avid road cyclist, and occasional mountain biker. His daily commute is not a grind but a joy because he's on a bike, getting exercise and sunshine. As a parent, he's seen how bikeable neighborhoods let kids learn freedom and responsibility a bit at a time. He has volunteered and supported local bike organizations, especially Reconnect Rochester, for many years. As a mechanical engineering professor, Doug has taught whole classes where every exam had a question about a bike! His scientific expertise is in fluid dynamics, which he has applied to green technologies like improved efficiency of aluminum manufacture and grid-scale energy storage.

Hal Tarry is a long time cycle tourist and a bicycle commuter. He cycled across the USA with BikeCentennial in ’76 and more recently cycled our east and west coasts. During his NYSDOT career he managed the design of numerous highway and bikeway projects and advocated for making DOT’s projects safer for cyclists. Often, small improvements made along with normal projects or by local government actions can make significant safety and convenience improvements for cyclists. Hal also recently worked with his county for 18 months developing a Vision Zero plan to eventually eliminate serious injuries and deaths from traffic crashes. Currently he is volunteering with the Trust for Public Land to bring the first section of the proposed Long Island Greenway to fruition.

Deniz Yaman is the founding principal of RocSci High School in Rochester, NY, where he leads with a strong focus on community, student growth, and civic responsibility. Outside of his professional life in education, Deniz is passionate about cycling and is an active member of “Just for Giggles Cycling” in Rochester. The group rides every Monday at 6:15pm, rain or shine, exploring the beauty of Rochester by bike while building community and promoting biking awareness and safety. For Deniz, cycling is more than recreation; it’s about connection, health, and bringing people together. He is excited about expanding access to cycling opportunities and strengthening community engagement through the NYBC.
