Bike Link by ROAD iD
A new way to protect the ride

Your bike has an ID.
Make sure you do, too.

Bike Link connects your bicycle to your ROAD iD profile through a premium engraved tag. Help recover a lost bike, share rider-authorized emergency information, and keep your identity connected to every ride.

One profile. Your bike. Your safety information. Your choice.

Two ways to use Bike Link

Built for bikes that are ownedand bikes that are borrowed.

Bike Purchase

A permanent engraved Bike Link tag is applied directly to the bicycle. The owner activates it, confirms the bike details, and connects an existing or new ROAD iD profile.

  • Permanent adhesive-mounted tag
  • Lost-bike contact and recovery
  • Optional rider emergency information
  • Existing ROAD iD profile connection
  • Ownership transfer support
Bike Rental

A rental bicycle keeps the same Bike Link tag while each rider connects a temporary safety profile for the duration of the rental.

  • Permanent fleet identification
  • Temporary rider assignment
  • Automatic profile expiration
  • Rental-company emergency contact
  • Reusable across every rental
The product

Engraved for the road ahead.

Bike Link is designed to feel like part of the bicycle — not something temporarily stuck onto it. The low-profile metal tag uses an engraved identity code and QR connection built for weather, movement, washing, and everyday riding.

ROAD iD profile ecosystem

One profile that travels with the rider.

Bike Link should not require existing ROAD iD customers to rebuild their information. Riders connect the profile they already use, approve what's available through the bike tag, and keep control.

ROAD iDProfileHUBWearable ROAD iDWrist / shoe IDOwned bicyclePermanent tagRental bicycleTemporary linkEmergency contactsRider approvedMedical infoPrivate by default

The rider decides what is shared. Bike shops and rental operators do not receive access to private medical details.

Existing ROAD iD customers can connect the profile they already use — no re-entering information.

Rider can update, disable, or transfer any Bike Link connection at any time.

Safe

This bicycle is registered with Bike Link. The owner's private contact information is protected — send a secure message and Bike Link will notify them.

When someone scans a Bike Link tag, they see a clean, protective interface — enough information to help the bike get home, and nothing that risks the rider's privacy.

  • Owner's private contact information is not exposed.
  • Secure message relay notifies the owner without revealing an email or phone.
  • Optional rider emergency information — available only when the rider has enabled it.
  • Bikes marked Missing or Stolen display a clear status banner.

Rental operators connect a rider's ROAD iD profile to a specific bicycle for the exact duration of a rental. When the rental ends, the personal connection expires automatically and the bike is ready for the next rider.
