Alex Weck

Originally from a small college town in Minnesota, Alex Weck moved to Somerville in 2007 hoping to pursue life without a car. After thinking that he’d take the ‘T’ regularly for his commute, he discovered that biking was simply much more effective in Greater Boston. Through working in Roxbury with numerous urban agriculture initiatives and in Lawrence with a community bike initiative Alex did his best to climb the steel ladder of understanding inequity. For the past five years Alex has lived in Springfield, approaching a broad swath of community projects including founding RadSpringfield Community Bike Project to promote access to bike repair, acquisition, and education.
