Hi, all!
Just reaching out to see if there are any Kids on Bikes players active in this community! I’ve been working on a tool to support play groups at my local games shop, and I thought – why not open it up to more people?
It’s 100% free and open source (GLPv3), there are zero features stuck behind a paywall, ads, or other monetization and I intend to keep it that way. Full disclosure: there is a link to donate to the project, but it’s out of the way and will never be shoved in anyone’s face.
I want to make the tool better for anyone and everyone who uses it, so if it interests you at all please check it out! It’s called Handlebar Heroes. Feel free to make suggestions, ask questions, give strongly worded criticisms, whatever you like. I’m here for it all. 🙂
Thanks so much for your time! I hope someone gets some use out of it.

I’ve never heard of the game until this post. Is it like what I am imagining it to be, and it’s essentially a game with the theme of being an 80’s adventure movie? Like what Stranger Things riffed on? Goonies: Pen and Paper?
Cuz that sounds dope.
You got it right. That’s exactly what the game is aiming for. If that’s up your alley you should check out Tales From the Loop as well.
Bingo! It’s a big hit with some of the folks I play with at my LGS. It’s a game all about ordinary kids up against extraordinary odds. Mystery, adventure, a splash of horror – you get the picture, lol.
It sure what the game is but looks neat. Do you mind sharing what stack you used and what did you use for authentication?
Sure!
The app is built in SvelteKit with TailwindCSS/DaisyUI. The database and authentication are handled by a Pocketbase instance hosted at Pockethost.io, and the app itself is deployed to Netlify.
