Brenda Barrie

Brenda Barrie comes to Pedal America relishing her daily bicycle commute and rides along northern Indiana's Tippecanoe River. As a Chicago-based actor The Chicago Tribune featured Brenda as one of Chicago's Rising Stars. Shortly after completing a BFA, she earned three Joseph Jefferson Award Nominations for Lead Actress and two "Jeff" nominations as an ensemble member. She worked on FOX's Chicago Code and performed in independent films like L Train and Mass Romantic. Brenda is passionate about bringing people together to celebrate the strength and vulnerability of the human spirit. On riding, Brenda says, "bicycling has become far too central to allow a little snow to garage my ride." She looks forward to winter with her first set of cold weather bicycle gear even though she says it makes her look like a Power Ranger. That's just fine by us! Pedal America's production company Out-Write Media, LLC is an Equal Mighty Morphin Employer. Show less «
