How do you share your live location while cycling?
Share your live location while cycling by sending a link to a trusted contact who can open it in any web browser on their phone or computer, with no app needed. Tell them your planned route and expected return time beforehand, and ask them to watch for alerts if you stop unexpectedly or fall.
Step by step
01Set up a live location link before you ride
Use a personal safety app like Holler that generates a shareable link. Send it to a trusted contact (a Guardian) via text, email, or messenger before you start cycling.
02Share your route and timing
Tell your Guardian the route you're taking, what time you expect to finish, and what they should do if they don't hear from you by that time. Set a specific check-in time so they know to expect contact.
03Let your Guardian watch from their phone or computer
Your Guardian opens the link in any browser and sees your live location update as you ride. They need nothing to install, and can watch from anywhere.
04Respond to any alerts your Guardian receives
If you fall or stop for more than a set time, your Guardian gets an alert. Check in with them right away so they know you're okay, or use the one-tap SOS to call 911 if you need help.
Related questions
Can my Guardian see me the whole time I'm riding?
Yes, if you share the live location link with them, they can follow your location in real time on any web browser, as long as your phone has signal and location services are on.
What if I need emergency help and can't call 911 myself?
Holler's one-tap SOS gives you a shortcut to call 911 with one touch. Tell your Guardian before you ride so they can also call 911 if you don't respond to an alert within a few minutes.
