Board of Directors
Our directors for 2025-2026 are:
Doug Clark (he/him) – President
Doug is a long-time Calgarian and has enjoyed the freedoms and benefits of cycling from a young age. His bike took him everywhere through grade school, university, and even in his professional years after graduation. He recently retired from a career as a geoscientist in Calgary’s energy industry. Doug is married with two grown children. As a year-round bike commuter, he encouraged many of his downtown co-workers to commute by bike, helped to organize cycling clubs, and improve bike parking and changing facilities at the workplace.
Doug has been a volunteer with Bike Calgary, and currently serves as their Vice President. He has held volunteer and board positions with several other community groups in the past. Most recently Doug is a founding board member and active volunteer with the newly formed non-profit, Youth en Route – focused on helping high school students to use active transportation.
Over the past 40+ years, Doug has directly experienced the significant improvements to cycling infrastructure and culture in Calgary and is excited to help push us further. He believes we still have a long way to go.
Leithan Slade – Vice President
Leithan has called Calgary home since 2019 and credits the move for reigniting his passion for pedaling.
A bike commuter, he also enjoys logging long days on mountain roads, bikepacking and riding trails or downhill tracks on his mountain bike. Leithan is also an avid long-distance runner.
Leithan brings to Bike Calgary a desire to improve cycling safety, infrastructure, awareness, and inclusion. With 17+ years of professional communications experience, he helps Bike Calgary reach residents and stakeholders across the city through proactive engagement, working with the media, social media, events, and partnerships.
Having previously volunteered in several capacities, including sports and tourism, Leithan is committed to connecting cyclists across Calgary to make our city a safer and better place to ride for everyone.
Treyton Zary – Secretary
Born in Saskatoon, Trey loves the outdoors and everything related to infrastructure, risk, and emergency management. After completing his undergraduate degree in Commerce at the University of Saskatchewan with a major in Supply Chain Management and a double minor in International Business and Global Politics, he moved on to Carleton to undertake his Masters in Infrastructure Protection and International Security, with a focus on national security, emergency and risk management.
While completing his undergraduate degree, Trey conducted research into how organizations in Canada were evaluating threats to and the vulnerabilities of their supply chains, which received awards for Best Undergraduate Research Project (Social Sciences & Humanities) and the City of Saskatoon’s Mayor Award for City Building.
During his time in Ottawa for his graduate degree, Trey worked for Public Safety Canada at the Government Operations Centre doing emergency management coordination, exercise design and evaluation, and continuous improvement of emergency management in Canada. He has interests in critical infrastructure, electrification, emergency management and business continuity, asset management, and strategic business development.
Now back in Calgary, Trey works for the City of Calgary doing risk management for critical infrastructure systems. Trey is an avid cyclist/bicycle commuter and loves to watch hockey. If you see a bicycle commuter outside in the middle of winter when it’s -40 degrees, you might have found him.
Kevin Pitzel – Treasurer
Kevin brings his passion for cycling and commitment to promoting a sustainable and healthy lifestyle to Bike Calgary. As an experienced road cyclist and a proud member of a cycling team, Kevin actively encourages individuals to embrace biking as both a mode of transportation and a recreational activity, emphasizing its positive impact on personal well-being and the community at large.
Beyond his cycling pursuits, Kevin’s main occupation in finance and financial forensics underscores his multifaceted approach to life. Fitness and health have always been integral to Kevin’s lifestyle, leading him to become a dedicated fitness trainer, spinning and yoga instructor during his off time. This commitment to holistic well-being aligns seamlessly with his belief in the transformative power of cycling.
Not only does Kevin bring a wealth of cycling expertise to the board, but his previous volunteer experience as a member of the Executive Committee and Treasurer of a private Calgary school showcases his leadership and organizational skills. Kevin’s vision extends beyond the practical benefits of cycling; he sees it as a means to create a vibrant and connected community.
As a board member, Kevin is poised to champion the social aspects of cycling, recognizing its potential to strengthen community bonds and contribute to the city’s overall vitality. With his unique blend of financial acumen, fitness expertise, and a genuine passion for cycling, Kevin is looking forward to contributing to Bike Calgary’s mission of promoting and enhancing the cycling culture and experience in our great city.
Brad Randall (he/him) – Director
Brad has been working in the cycling industry for over 15 years. He believes that bicycles can take you places beyond your imagination, create healthier communities, bring smiles to faces, and help mitigate the effects of climate change. Brad is a year-round commuter who is comfortable on the city pathways, single track trails in the mountains, and the shoulders of highways when touring.
Positive change comes when people are brought together who share a commonality. In this case their love of bicycles. While new to Bike Calgary and to the city, Brad hopes he can bring his passion for cycling and his experience in the industry to help create a better cycling experience for everyone.
