John Daybell – Treasurer
After being hired to work for Ford in 2017, John moved to Dearborn with his family in tow. After a few months he realized that bicycling to work would be just as fast, or faster, than driving each day. Biking through Dearborn and the surrounding area showed him great it was to really get into the community and see it outside the confines of a car. John joined Bike Dearborn to help make cycling easier and more appealing so that everyone can see how great Dearborn really is.
