🚲Congrats to the 2026 Bike Hero – Nancy Puffer! 🚲

She is a dedicated volunteer with Bike Saviours, where she serves on the Board of Directors as Director of Art. Using discarded bicycle parts from the Bike Saviours scrap bin, Nancy creates original works of art, transforming old bicycle components into mirrors, jewelry, sculptures, decor, and one-of-a-kind statement pieces. Most impressively, Nancy donates 100% of the proceeds from these sales to Bike Saviours.

Nancy is also the lead organizer of the annual RE:Cycle Art Night, benefiting Bike Saviours. This unique event unites the arts and cycling communities. For the past two years, Nancy has led this entirely volunteer-driven event, which has become one of Tempe's most creative grassroots community celebrations. Nancy truly embodies what it means to be a bike hero.
