Meet the Pedalink Tag

Lifesaving Information provided within 2 clicks.

Pedalink Mint Frame tag with a black 3D-printed case and clamp

Why I’m building Pedalink.

Cycling gave me freedom. An accident, three fractures and one surgery showed me how much it matters to have someone to call.

Back on the bike, I wondered: what if I’d been alone? I started Pedalink to help a bystander reach your people when you can’t speak for yourself. A little preparation, so you can enjoy the ride.

FAQs

More help
How do I activate my tag?

Scan your tag, add your details and choose a PIN. Then invite your emergency contacts to confirm on WhatsApp. Your tag is ready to ride with you.

How long will my tag last?

Your tag’s digital profile has no set expiry. It stays active for as long as you wish, unless you deactivate it. Keep the physical QR clean and readable so it can be scanned.

Who can see my information?

Anyone who scans your tag or has its link can see your public profile. You choose whether to show your age, gender and contact name, and which medical notes to add. Your birth date and PIN stay private.

Can I update my details later?

Yes! Choose Edit Your Tag and sign in with your name and PIN. Your digital profile updates when you save; any wording printed on the physical tag stays the same.

Do I need an app or internet connection?

No Pedalink app needed—just a phone browser and internet connection. Calls use your phone service, while WhatsApp messages need WhatsApp and internet access.

What if the tag is dirty or damaged?

Gently clean the QR and try scanning again in good light. Small scratches may still scan, but if the code is hard to read, it’s time to replace the tag.

What if I forget my PIN?

Contact Pedalink for help. There’s no automatic PIN reset, so we may not be able to restore access. Saving your PIN in a password manager makes it easier to keep track of.

Does WhatsApp send a message automatically?

You always press Send in WhatsApp. For a verified contact, Pedalink then forwards an alert with your WhatsApp number and any location you chose to include. For an unverified contact, you message them directly.

What if I lose my tag?

Sign in through Edit Your Tag with your name and PIN, then deactivate the lost tag to hide its public profile. Deactivation is permanent. Contact Pedalink if you need a replacement.

What does someone see when they scan my tag?

They’ll see your name, blood group, any details you chose to share, and ways to call or message your emergency contacts. A new tag opens setup; a deactivated tag hides your details.

What happens when someone presses the call button?

Your phone opens its call screen with the selected number ready. You then confirm the call, just as you would for a normal phone call.

Does Pedalink automatically call emergency services?

No. Someone needs to scan your tag and choose how to help. Pedalink can forward a WhatsApp alert after they send a request, but it doesn’t detect accidents or call emergency services.

What if the emergency contact does not answer?

Try the secondary contact or send a WhatsApp message. If help is urgent, call local emergency services straight away rather than waiting for a reply.

How does name and PIN editing work?

Choose Edit Your Tag and enter your full profile name and PIN. Capital letters and extra spaces don’t matter. If you update your name, use the new name next time. Keep your PIN just for you.

How do I deactivate or delete my information?

Sign in with your name and PIN. Deactivate to permanently hide your public profile, or delete to remove your personal details from the live database. The old tag code won’t be reused.

How are age, birth date and gender used?

Your birth date stays private and keeps your age up to date. You decide whether your age and gender appear on your profile, and you can change your sharing choices anytime using your name and PIN.

Which public emergency numbers can I call through Pedalink?

For India, the profile offers 112 for emergency help, 108 for ambulance services where available, and 100 for police. Tap a number and confirm the call. Outside India, use the local emergency number.
