Luke Gillies (He/Him)

Riding doesn’t have to require special clothing or the best bike, but for most people (including me), it requires safety and convenience. As a member of HUB Cycling’s Board of Directors, I believe that cycling should be accessible to people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities, providing a transportation option that is cheap, fun, and safe for everyone.

I’m a professional municipal civil engineer with over a decade of managerial experience both here and abroad. In winter I also volunteer as an adaptive ski instructor, helping people with disabilities access winter sports on Vancouver’s North Shore Mountains. Professionally, I’ve delivered a wide range of municipal projects, many with bikes in mind, and have overseen the maintenance and operations of bicycle infrastructure. I’ve advocated for the benefits of bike infrastructure projects and maintenance to a wide range of stakeholders including municipal councils. I’ve also conducted research on the user experience of cycling infrastructure on the North Shore for my Master of Engineering Management thesis.
