> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://bikecheck.gitbook.io/guide/llms.txt). Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://bikecheck.gitbook.io/guide/getting-started/find-your-way-around.md). # Find your way around ## The side menu The menu sits on the left edge of the screen. Click the small **›** tab to slide it open, and **‹** to close it; it floats over the page. ![The menu for a rider](https://3342305839-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FUV849rO8Um1JqzscvFEf%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-165b84faa186e3544fbb66d814cc5c24ddf25746%2Fnavigation-rider.jpg?alt=media) What you see depends on your account. A rider sees: | Item | What it's for | | ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | | **Dashboard** | Your bookings, ratings you owe, and incoming bike transfers | | **Bike gallery** | Every public bike on BikeCheck, with filters | | **Garage** | Your own bikes | | **Marketplace** | Bikes for sale | | **Activity** | Your own activity log: services, ratings, shops you joined | | **Notifications** | Alerts about bookings, transfers and services | | **Subscription** | Premium and extra garage slots | | **Settings** | Your profile, location, codes, Strava and privacy | | **Legal** | Terms, privacy and consumer information | If you work at a shop, a second group of items appears for that shop: **Business dashboard**, and depending on your role **Catalogue**, **Kanban**, **Fleet** and others. Shop owners see the full set: see [Set up your shop](/guide/shop-owners/set-up-your-shop.md). ![The menu for Sophie, receptionist at Radwerk Bergmann](https://3342305839-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FUV849rO8Um1JqzscvFEf%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-41263cc4f018cf43f873abbe1433823c1c843b7d%2Fnavigation-staff.jpg?alt=media) The bottom of the menu has **Log out**, and your account badges — for example *Basic rider* and *Receptionist · Radwerk Bergmann*. Below the badges, **Instruction Manual** opens this guide in a new tab; the links to the Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy and Cookies sit right under it. ## The help button The round **?** button in the bottom-right corner explains what is on screen. Press it and it walks you through the page — or, if a window is open, through that window — one control at a time. Press **Done** or **×** to close it. ![The help overlay on the Garage page](https://3342305839-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FUV849rO8Um1JqzscvFEf%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d1efcb4a690a4916905dc3bc028a5db19e93c1b8%2Fhelp-overlay.jpg?alt=media) ## Dashboard boards Bookings appear on boards with five columns, left to right: | Column | Meaning | | --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | | **Pending** | Requested, waiting for the shop's answer (or yours) | | **Waiting check-in** | Confirmed; the bike hasn't been dropped off yet | | **Open** | At the shop, work not started | | **In progress** | A mechanic is working on it | | **Waiting check-out** | All work done; ready to collect | Click a booking card to open its details under the board. ![Lena's dashboard with a booking in progress](https://3342305839-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FUV849rO8Um1JqzscvFEf%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-c3159886fae7f9b0da0e9942bea25784f97cad97%2Frider-dashboard.jpg?alt=media) ## Bike cards and colours Every bike is shown as a card with its photo on top. The frame around a card tells you the class of bike: **green** for a standard bike, **blue** for an e-bike, **red** for a cargo bike, **pale green** for a scooter and **pale blue** for an e-scooter. Click a card to open the bike's page underneath it. ## Notifications A number on **Notifications** in the menu shows how many are unread. Click a notification to open what it is about. Read notifications are cleared automatically after a day; **Mark all read** clears the badge at once. If you gave parental consent for a child's account, a switch at the top of the page moves between **Own** and each child's name. A child's notifications are shown read-only: looking at them does not mark them read for your child. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://bikecheck.gitbook.io/guide/getting-started/find-your-way-around.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
