Alex Kreis
Position with PPP
Rider and R&D
Who you are in 10 words or less?
How am I supposed to describe myself in ten words?
Why are you a part of PPP?
I was fortunate enough to be hired. But, now that this Q&A is on the site, they'll never be able to get rid of me. The internet is forever and web development costs a fortune. Muahahahaha!

Same answer for both: A cormorant. Giving up speech and hands would be tough. But, being able to fly and deep sea dive is like Hawkman and Aquaman combined.

Hover bikes.
Name
Maria DeLorenzo
Position with PPP
Marketing Specialist
Who you are in 10 words or less?
Writer, editor, marketer. Karaoake enthusiast. Loud laugher. Carless wonder.
Why are you a part of PPP?
Working with PPP is at the intersection of many of my passions: bikes, community, sustainability and creative marketing. Having worked for years with urban planners, I strongly believe that bikes are a necessary part of urban growth and mobility. Bike delivery reduces C02 emissions and vehicle congestion. It's also a really fun and creative place to work.
What was your first bike?
Pretty sure it was pink and had tassles on the handlebars and a little woven plastic basket on the front. I've been on bikes since I was a wee little one. My parents used to take us on long bike trip vacations and before we could ride we got carted around in one of those baby bike trailers.
Who is your favorite superhero?
I really liked She-Ra when I was little. Then bizzaro Aeon Flux. Basically any high-femme badass.
Where do you see PPP in five years?
National leaders in the rapid growth of bike-based commerce and delivery sustainability, much expanded, building our moon fleet.

A Redline 440. Probably hasn't been turned into a trash compactor yet. 20 years have passed, so it probably has kids and a mortgage.
Who is your favorite superhero?
The monster under my bed.
Where do you see PPP in five years?
Bigger, Badder and Bearded-er.
