Our mount and app turn the phone you own into a high-quality bike camera.
The best bike camera is the one you actually use. Record your rides, mark the moments that matter, and report hazards to your city.

What is dashcam.bike?
dashcam.bike is a free bike dashcam app for iPhone and Android, paired with a stabilizing handlebar phone mount. Instead of buying and charging a separate camera, you mount the phone you already own and hit record.
The app loop-records every ride so your phone never fills up, lets you tap the screen to mark a moment, and keeps your footage private on your device. In Pittsburgh, Washington DC, and Boston, hazards like blocked bike lanes can be sent to the city’s 311 system with one tap; anywhere else, the app gives you a screenshot and GPS coordinates to report yourself.
Video evidence, just in case
We hear too many stories of injured bicyclists being blamed for crashes. Have video evidence, in case you ever need it.
(We hope you won’t.)
Hassle-free recording
No extra device to charge. No waiting for huge files to transfer.
Our loop buffer overwrites the oldest footage as you ride, so you don’t fill up your phone. You control how much is stored.
Report everyday hazards
No more pulling over to make 311 reports. Record everything, and when you reach your destination, select photos or videos to send your city.
In Pittsburgh, Washington DC, and Boston, use our One-Tap 311 Reporting.
In-app video editor
Stop sharing boring videos. Trim, speed up, and combine clips right in the app.
Transition between clips with our cinematic 3D flyover view — rendered for you automatically.
Built to fit your bike
Our mount clamps the top and bottom of your phone with three vibration-dampening pads — the difference between usable footage and a shaky headache.
360° rotation, 70° tilt, and multiple models to fit phones from 3.5" to 6.8".
Frequently asked questions
Yes. The app is free on iOS and Android.
An optional Dashcam Premium subscription adds advanced in-app stabilization (iPhone X+ or Android 13+), watermark removal, custom map and dashboard themes, and picture-in-picture on Android. The mount is sold separately.
Nearly any modern iPhone or Android phone.
Our mount fits phones from 3.5″ to 6.8″, with or without a case. Cinematic stabilization needs an iPhone X or newer, or Android 13 or newer.
No, but the mount is what makes the footage watchable.
The app works with any handlebar mount that clamps the phone top and bottom, doesn’t block the camera, and doesn’t use straps. Our mount was designed around exactly that checklist.
The average 20-minute recording uses around 8% of your battery.
Your mileage may vary — newer phones use less, and older phones use more. We’ve worked hard to make sure the app doesn’t drain your battery.
Your videos and GPS data are always private.
They are never uploaded to our servers unless you expressly choose to share them. We only collect basic, non-identifiable metadata for analytics and crash reporting.
Secure, Lock, and Verify.
Secure the corners by pulling in, lock using the button on the back, and verify it’s secure with a twist. Regularly check all connections, and only ride in the rain with a waterproof device.
Record every commute!
We recommend opening the app on every ride around town — leave it on standby to save battery. We don’t recommend mountain biking or riding that could cause severe impacts or vibrations.
Yes!
If your music pauses when the app launches, return to your music player and hit play, then go back and tap record. Works with music and podcasts, headphones and speakers.
Yes!
Our recommended mounts tilt upward so you can switch apps, check your maps, then switch back to Dashcam. Note that we won’t be recording while you’re in another app.
Tap to place a Marker while riding — you can easily find it later.
When something happens you want to share, just tap the screen while it’s recording. Every tap shows up as a purple marker in the timeline.
You don’t need to see the screen to use the app.
Everything is controllable via gestures, so you can start and stop without looking. The app enters Low Power Mode when you begin recording, or after 10 seconds of inactivity.
Nope!
The app deletes old videos for you. Customize how much is stored in settings; once you reach the threshold, new footage automatically overwrites the oldest.
Our app does it for you.
Hit Share › Select Clips and pick multiple clips. The app creates a flyover video between each one. If you share it on social media, tag @dashcam.bike on Bluesky or @dashcambike on Instagram.
Use your city’s 311 system.
Scrub to the moment and tap Share. In supported cities a “Report to 311” button appears; otherwise tap “Screenshot & GPS Coordinates” and use your city’s 311 channel.
