Another Bicycle Coalition employee joins Muni

Kristin Smith

Every now and then, among the lost dog notices and the ambulance chasing, the SF Weekly's blog has an item of interest:

Both the San Francisco Bike Coalition and Bike East Bay are looking for a few staff members. The SFBC is hiring a Communications Director---Kristin Smith used to hold that position but now is the Marketing Communications Manager at San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. Whoever takes on that role would have to deal with emails from local bike bloggers and other members of the press in order to make the SFBC look good, plus probably manage a lot of member communications and press releases, and probably a lot more important things.

Smith has a paper trail so that we can examine her credentials, but of course her main qualification is having worked for the Bicycle Coalition.

Maybe Smith can help beef up the MTA's peace/love campaign designed to reassure Muslims and city progressives that Pamela Geller's anti-jihad ads won't offend any terrorists---or their enablers---who adhere to the Religion of Peace.

Other hires by Muni from the SFBC here, here, and here.

Brent and Zelda from Flyoverland.
Aren't they adorable?
