• We see a future where bicycling is seen as a safe and practical choice for most short distance trips as well as many medium or long distance trips.
                                                                                                                                                        
• We see a future where Washington County residents, businesses, and local governments prioritize and support bicycling through safe and practical infrastructure and bicycle-friendly regulations.                                                                                                                                                  
• We see a future where bicycling and bike safety are taught in schools and educational institutions, and where similar education is widely available to adults, and in multiple languages.                                                                                                                                                                                 
• We see a future where people using all modes of transportation are attentive, well educated, and respectful of one another.   
                                    
• We see a future where bikes, training, and infrastructure are available to people of all ages and abilities in neighborhoods both old and new, with special emphasis on underserved communities and people.

Nick Baker-

Board of Directors Chair

Nick is a believer in the beneficent power of active transportation and aims to make Washington County a place where all community members — regardless of their age, ability level, or background — can comfortably and conveniently travel by bicycle. Given that transportation accounts for more of Oregon's greenhouse gas emissions than any other sector, he views active transportation, and bicycling in particular, as an important element in the conscientious stewardship of this planet of ours. Nick is a regular bicycle commuter and brings experience in planning, data analysis, cartography, program development, and visual communications to the WashCo Bikes board of directors.

Tricia Mortell - Board of Directors

Tricia has been a life-long cyclist, enjoying biking to work and recreational riding with friends and local cycling groups.  Cycling is also part of her commitment to health, well-being, and environmental stewardship. As a public health professional, she's well aware of the benefits of active transportation and has promoted and supported cycling programs, policies, and organizations across the metro region. When not biking you can find her hiking with her dog, kayaking, or playing pickleball. Since moving to the area, she's been volunteering at WashCo Bikes helping with bike cleaning, summer camps, bike rodeos, and other bike events. She's also the current newsletter editor. 

John Haide

Board of Directors- Advocacy Coordinator

I have retired after a career as an electrical engineer with the Bonneville Power Administration then working part time for REI in Hillsboro for almost 13 years. I grew up in Sherwood, OR and have always loved the outdoors. In addition to bicycling, I enjoy photography, kayaking, hiking, gardening and woodworking. I have lived in Hillsboro since 1989. I have been married to my wife, Liz for almost 47 years and we have a daughter, son in law and granddaughters here in town and a son and daughter in law in southern California. My biggest interest in bicycling is to see more people cycling, especially as a means to get around our community. I want to work to promote a more comfortable, safe and complete network of cycling infrastructure in our community that is accessible to people of all ages and abilities.

Growing up, he rode a bike—even though his first one was a girl's bike that he had to share with six siblings. He believes getting outdoors is essential for mental and physical well-being. Wil’s passion for community engagement led him to connect with WashCo Bikes four years ago when he brought a bike in for repair. With 30 years in social services, he is committed to teaching, coaching, and building relationships that empower individuals and strengthen communities.
