Matt Stickland has been an avid bike rider for almost a year. After spending 40 years driving, he sold a motorcycle and bought an e-bike on a whim. He rode it one time, sold his car and never looked back. He’s been covering city hall as a beat reporter for about five years, most recently for The Coast. He is excited to join the Halifax Cycling Coalition and use his knowledge of city hall to help communicate the importance of safe transportation options in the HRM.
