Barb joined the Bicycle Alliance of Washington as executive director Aug. 1, 2012. Her bike advocacy work started in Spokane thanks to the Bicycle Alliance, which served as the initial fiscal home for Bike to Work Spokane (now Spokane Bikes), founded by Barb in late 2007. She has served on a variety of boards and committees in transportation, public policy, and health, and directed external relations at WSU Spokane for 14-1/2 years before coming to the Bicycle Alliance. Barb's personal bike blog can be found at bikestylespokane.com. She's not sure whether her new commuter bike, a Specialized Globe Daily 2, has a name, but if it does, it's "Alice"; her road bike, a Specialized Dolce, may possibly be named "Sweetie". Barb's husband Eric Abbott trains and races with BikeSales.com; his bikes definitely do not have names.
