Dr. Esther Walker

Esther started cycling while working towards her PhD in Cognitive Science at UC San Diego, and hasn’t been able to put down a bike since. At Outride, she’s able to combine her background in human cognition and data science with her passion for getting people excited about riding bikes, be it for transportation, recreation, racing, or anything in between. Esther collaborates with researchers, schools, and community organizations to leverage the power of data and research to better understand how cycling can help youth, and their communities, become both happier and healthier. She is also passionate about sharing stories through data and helps to equip programs with tools and reports that demonstrate impact.
