Find motorbike group rides near you. See where your mates are on a live map. Plan twisty tours, log your bikes, and stay safe with one-tap SOS. Biker Meetups is the motorbike app built by a rider, for riders. No ads, no spam, no dating-app fluff. Just the tools you actually need to ride more β€” and ride better β€” with people who get it. GROUP RIDES, DONE PROPERLY Browse upcoming UK group rides in your area. Filter by difficulty, distance, 125cc-friendly, weekend vs weekday. Join a ride, see who else has claimed a seat, and chat with the group before you set off. Create your own rides with multi-stop waypoints and recurring schedules β€” perfect for a regular Sunday meet. LIVE GROUP TRACKING Once a ride is rolling, see every rider in your pack on the map in real time. Know who's gone for fuel, who's at the front, who's pulled over. Optional and consent-based β€” your location is only shared during active rides. EMERGENCY SOS + CRASH DETECTION One-tap SOS alerts your saved emergency contacts with your exact location. If your phone detects a hard impact, a 30-second countdown auto-fires SOS unless you cancel. Quietly there if you ever need it. ROUTE PLANNER (MOTORBIKE-SPECIFIC) Plan rides with unlimited waypoints. The routing engine prefers the twisty B-roads riders actually want over the boring A-road shortcuts car satnavs choose. Export GPX for Garmin, Calimoto, Scenic, or any other satnav. CURATED ROUTE LIBRARY Hand-picked legendary rides β€” NC500, the Cat & Fiddle, Hardknott Pass, Snake Pass and more. Each one verified, distance-checked, and ready to ride. THE GARAGE Log every bike, track every service. Get auto-reminders for oil, chain, tyres, MOT. See total spend per bike. Never face a Β£400 sprocket bill from a missed chain change again. REAL-TIME RIDE CHAT Ride-specific group chats. Share photos, plan meetup points, coordinate fuel stops β€” without spamming WhatsApp. GPX IMPORT & EXPORT Bring routes in from Komoot, Strava, or any GPS app. Push them back out to your satnav. Your data stays yours. FREE FOREVER + PRO WHEN YOU'RE READY Everything core is free. Group rides, live tracking, SOS, GPX import, single-stop routes β€” all free forever. Pro adds the deeper toolkit: unlimited multi-stop route saves, the Supercurvy planner (chase the twisties on purpose), ride replay with speed/distance stats, Garage analytics, calendar sync, weather alerts, and more.
