Bikeroyon is the live map for motorcycle and bicycle riders around the world. Open the app, see where riders are gathering right now, tap “I'm here” to join the spot, and never ride alone again. What you get in Bikeroyon • Live map: a spot grows and heats up as more riders show up, so one glance tells you where tonight's action is. • “I'm here” in one tap: other riders in the spot see you without your exact location being revealed. • What's happening now: gatherings, snaps, invitations and offers in one list, newest first, with your favorite riders on top. • Group meetups: create a meetup in 30 seconds, share the link in your group chat, and whoever taps it joins. • Friends and private chat: send a friend request, and once accepted, message each other inside the app. • Snaps: share a photo from the spot; it disappears after 24 hours. • SOS: broke down on the road? One tap sends your location to nearby riders for one hour. • Cafés and shops: hosts publish invitations and offers for riders right on the map. • Points, stars and leaderboard: earn points for check-ins and meetups, and climb the weekly ranking. • Browse as a guest: new to Bikeroyon? Explore the map first and register when you're ready to join in. • Block and report tools for a safe community. Privacy first Your location is shared as an approximate area (about 5 km), never as an exact point, and only while you are checked in. You can delete your account and all your data from inside the app at any time. For every rider: Harley-Davidson, BMW, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Ducati, KTM, Triumph, Indian, sport bikes, bicycles and more. Bikeroyon is available in English and Arabic, for the riders' community around the world.
