Michael Sarna, Development Manager

Michael Sarna expands the reach and impact of Explore Bike Share through his passion for sustainable social systems and experience in creating, developing, and sustaining relationships with community members. Having seen firsthand the impact that bike share systems can have in other cities, Michael enthusiastically moves this platform forward using his fundraising and engagement skills and drive for the EBS mission.

Michael’s background includes managing and cultivating a multi-million-dollar portfolio for the third largest Bike MS ride in the country and leading teams of volunteers to execute national event operational plans, cultivate donors, and create unmatched donor experiences. He applies this knowledge and on-the-ground experience to help create a vision, develop and execute strategies, and organize staff and volunteer resources for Explore Bike Share.

Jon Pegg began buying, repairing, and overhauling bicycles shortly after college and quickly realized that cycling was his calling and passion. Before joining Explore Bike Share as Fleet Manager, he worked at the Shop Manager for our community partner Revolutions Bike Co-Op, gaining knowledge and experience in bicycle assessment, building, and repair as well as installing and maintaining bike stations.

Because of Revolutions’ educational mission, Jon’s role there built his aptitude to successfully and simultaneously manage a mechanic team, direct volunteers, teach community members, perform shop duties, and interact with retail customers – all vital elements of coordinating Explore Bike Share’s fleet.

As a native of Los Angeles who has spent more than two decades in Memphis, Jon has seen how riding a bicycle creates a community that grows a love for people, neighborhoods, and the outdoor spaces that shape our city, and he is excited to bring greater opportunities to see more in Memphis.
