Now back in Maine, Travis teaches quilting and sewing classes at local makerspaces and is also a Registered Maine Guide.

Thomas Hargrave — Education Specialist
thomas@bikemaine.org
Thomas’ first taste of bikepacking was in high school on Catalina Island. He then got a mountain bike while in college and after graduating, took it to Japan and used it to tour and commute while living and training there for seven years. Thomas got more involved in mountain bike instruction while living in Washington with Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance. Going places motor vehicles can’t is the kind of riding that gives Thomas the greatest joy, and Maine is a wonderland to explore by fatbike.
Katrina Venhuizen – Education Specialist
Katrina grew up in Texas but has called Maine home for 15 years. She was drawn to Portland because of its the bikeability, great food and beauty. Her background is in outreach and education laced with sustainability practices.
Katrina’s expertise in building community partnerships, coordinating events and managing communications, coupled with her passion for conservation of resources and promoting safely cycling everywhere possible makes her a fantastic addition to the team!
Peter Yanson – Education Specialist
Peter grew up in Southern Florida in an area blessed with weather for year-round active transportation but cursed with infrastructure built exclusively for cars. When he moved to Maine in 2012, he fell in love with biking and outdoor recreation in general. A year round bike commuter, Peter understands the challenges riders and walkers face. After spending a number of years wrenching in bike shops, Peter now brings this passion for active transportation and desire for safer streets for all users as an Education Specialist for the Bicycle Coalition of Maine. Outside of work and bikes, Peter enjoys spending time with his family, skiing, and light animal husbandry (backyard chickens and a goat-share cooperative).

Isabel is excited to work with BCM to help advance safe streets, human-centered urban design, promote inclusive outreach and participate in meaningful, community-building work. She comes to BCM with work experience in intentional placemaking and outreach that connects people to green spaces, public parks, and the communities around them.
