Bike Dash Cams for Cyclists and Motorcyclists

Cyclists usually need a light, rechargeable camera; motorcyclists may prefer a permanently powered twin-camera system. In both cases, prioritise secure mounting and weather protection.

A bike dash cam records a rider's journey in a continuous loop so useful clips are not lost when storage fills. For a bicycle, that usually means a compact rechargeable action or safety camera. For a motorcycle, a dash cam for bike use can instead be a fixed front-and-rear kit powered by the machine.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

Can you use a dash cam on a bike?

Yes, but choose equipment designed for the mounting, weather and power conditions. Bicycle and motorcycle installations have different requirements.

Is a helmet camera legal in the UK?

Recording is generally possible, but the mount must be safe and must not compromise an approved helmet. Avoid drilling or modifying the shell.

Should a bike dash cam face forwards or backwards?

Front footage shows developing hazards; rear footage can document close passes and following traffic. Dual coverage is useful when weight, power and mounting allow it.

How does loop recording work on a bike camera?

The camera overwrites the oldest ordinary files when storage is full. Important clips should be locked or copied before they are overwritten.
