About

I’m Duncan Wilcock. I love bikes and micromobility, and I built HeadsUp Bike to explore my city by bike and e-bike — to help me find the foot paths and routes I didn’t know existed.

It’s based on HeadsUp Drive, an app I built in 2013 when I was driving in traffic a lot — before I discovered e-bikes, no traffic and easy parking. I still use HeadsUp Drive every time I drive, to see snarl-ups long before I reach them. HeadsUp Bike takes the same idea — a simple map that follows you and looks ahead — and swaps traffic for the bike network.

I’m also a co-founder of Better North Shore, a municipal advocacy group on the North Shore of Vancouver, Canada. I write at www.wilcock.ca.
