Cycle Responders

A cycle responder is a medically trained responder, such as a paramedic
or first aider that uses a bicycle to respond to a medical emergency.
They are used by professional ambulance services to respond to emergency
calls and also by private and voluntary providers of medical cover at
events.

And Nugent will say that TMS320 will say that it has nothing to do with
cycling.

You said without prompting:

"...it has nothing to do with cycling...".

Anyway, motor-bikes (including Vespa-type scooters) would be better,
faster and more capacious.

I don't think that a motorbike responder would regard it safe to do
short cuts through pedestrian areas and shopping centres like the cycle
responders do.
Anyway, the average time for the cycle ones to arrive on the scene is 6
mins. They are usually the first which can be vital to saving a life.

As usual, you/Cheerless and Mr Pounder will find any pedantic reason to
diss cyclists.
You are the 3 SENILE MOANY OLD FARTS.

A cycle-riding "responder" (though much depends on the exact meaning of
that word - "paramedic" is what we look for these days) is better than
no "responder" at all.

A "responder" who gets there quicker and carries more equipment and
supplies is even better than a cycle-riding "responder".

Is that better?

It's really all I said first time round, but you obviously didn't
understand it.

Maybe it's never occurred to them. If you write to them, perhaps you
will be the first person to let them know that they're doing it all wrong.

It is possible that the bicycle is, in all the circumstances, all that
is available. Only a small proportion of the population have motor-cycle
licences and the skills and experience needed to use a motor-bike safely.

On the other hand, as we all know, anyone can be redeployed at short or
no notice onto a bicycle as it requires no skill, knowledge or
experience (as is daily demonstrated by cyclists).

As I said quite early on, a responder on a bicycle is better than a
responder on foot (I probably put that as "better than nothing"). But
after that, proper vehicles will lose push-bikes except for journeys of
very short length.

If you're going to be taken ill or have an accident in a relevant very
congested area, try to do it as close as possible to the base of the
bike-responders. You know it makes sense (but probably won't want to
admit it; you never do).

For the record:

Medical kit
Our cycle responders’ kit is very similar equipment to that found on the
ambulances, fast response cars and motorcycle response units (MRU). It
includes, among other things: a defibrillator (used to re-start a
patient’s heart if they go into cardiac arrest), oxygen, entonox
(commonly known as gas and air), a pulse monitor, a blood pressure
monitor, adult and child bag and mask resuscitators, adrenaline,
aspirin, asthma and diabetes drugs, bandages and dressings, rubber
gloves, and cleanser.
