MARGARET SHUTTLEWORTH DOURIDAS

Local Advocacy Coordinator

Margaret Shuttleworth Douridas came to BikeLA after working as a journalist covering Los Angeles’ government. She is driven by her unshakeable love of LA, where she moved after spending the first 24 years of her life in Florida, New
York and, briefly, Santiago, Chile. She spends her time biking around LA, with a particular enthusiasm for using her e-bike to explore LA’s hills. She also enjoys going to estate sales, gardening, hiking, and marveling at trees!

GRAHAM DAVIDSON

 

A Seattle native, Graham developed a strong connection to bicycles as a way to safely experience the outdoors during the global pandemic. Since then, he embarked on a cross-country bikepacking trip, participated in numerous city bike groups, and worked as a bicycle mechanic here in Los Angeles. Graham studied psychology at Pitzer College, and brings a background in non-profit development from his time supporting events and outreach at The Special Olympics. Graham is driven to advocate for equitable access to the bicycle as a tool for healthy exercise, community transformation, and environmental stewardship for all Angelenos.
