Founder’s story
Back on the bike.
Building with purpose.
I’m Vivan, a passionate 16-year-old cyclist who lives and dreams about cycling.
A love of cycling. A road through recovery. A purpose in rider safety.
one rider at a time.
Why I’m building Pedalink
Cycling is my freedom: early starts, steep climbs and the joy of going further than yesterday.
Every ride brings a chance to explore, clear my head and spend time doing what I love.
An accident interrupted that freedom and left me with a fractured elbow. In a moment, a familiar ride became a situation where I needed someone else’s help.
A close friend reached my parents and helped me get immediate care at a nearby hospital. I was lucky to have someone beside me who knew whom to call.
One surgery, three screws and 19 staples followed. Recovery meant four months away from cycling before I gradually found my way back to the bike.
Later, one thought stayed with me: what if I had been alone? Not every rider has a friend beside them when something happens. So I built Pedalink to create a small connection to someone who cares, even when you are riding alone.
“An accident could interrupt my journey without defining it.”
The experience also made me recognise the question many cyclists carry quietly: “What if something happens?”
Safety should support the freedom to ride, not become the reason someone is afraid to explore, train, race or enjoy the road. That is why I am building Pedalink: to give cyclists practical safety tools and help important rider-provided information reach the right people when it may be needed.
I want Pedalink to represent more than a product. I want it to represent confidence for riders who refuse to let fear decide where the road takes them.
I got back on the bike. Now I want to help more cyclists feel confident doing the same.
