In the UK, there has been a lot of chatter recently about allowing #BloodBikes to use green flashing lights, so we dove into the existing law and encourage you to sign the petition.

Blood Bikers operate all over the UK and help transport a lot more than just blood, but they'd be a lot safer if people could see them better and what they stand for.
Please consider signing, thank you

06.25am this morning, Ben turns out to a call from South Molton Hospital - an urgent sample to go to the labs in Barnstaple. But equally as significantly, this is our 4,000th call out this year. Incredible work done by our volunteers, all free to the NHS and Hospices we serve. #bloodbikes #swbb

End of a busy day. After a late shift last night picking up from GP surgeries we had a call this morning from a hospital needing an urgent biopsy sample transferred from Taunton to Plymouth. Long day but nice one for a ride. And now, beer.

Nice day for a long run when an urgent sample needed to be taken from Musgrove Park Hospital to Derriford. Our bike was on the road within half an hour, sample collected from the theatre and a seamless transfer for the last run to the lab. All FREE to the NHS #bloodbikes #nhs #charity #itswhatwedo

Our team providing plasma resupply services to the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance rely on their dedicated car and were delighted to be sponsored and supported by Howards Motor Group of Yeovil. Thank you! #bloodbikes #charity #itswhatwedo #bloodtohelimed
On this day we are specially grateful to the women who ride our blood bikes in all weathers, who give so much of their time to control our fleet on the road, and who are out at weekends selflessly fundraising to keep us on the road.

Spotlight on our Dorchester team, supporting the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance with replenishment of plasma stocks every 48 hours. Our dedicated team of 10 volunteers covered 252 life-saving deliveries in 2024, all without charging a penny for their services!

Our resident Blood Biker has given us another insight in to the great work they do.

VOR! When our Saturday rider brought the bike back from a long 9 to 9 shift, he found a blown fork seal and we had to declare it Vehicle Off Road until it's fixed. Fortunately, with a fleet of 20 cars and bikes we had a replacement ready to go. That's why we can serve the NHS 247/365 #bloodbikes
One of our regular jobs is replenishing the life saving plasma carried by the Devon Air Ambulances. Today, a hefty 6 units out to their #Exeter air base at first light. #volunteers #bloodbikes #helimed #charity #itswhatwedo
Serving the community since 2009, not charging our clients a penny!
Thank you to all the staff and customers at Millie’s America Diner for their generous donation of £400 to our charity 🫶

Today our second hybrid vehicle, a Toyota Corolla, went into operational service. This vehicle replaces one of our other cars, that we recently retired from the fleet, and we chose to continue our journey into the realms of hybrid vehicles.

Another weekend where we don't mention the "Q" word. Dry weather meant the bikes were out again, with east rider Des on constant calls between 1.00 and 20.00 on Saturday in 0-3°. Sunday all go with calls at Tiverton maternity hospital and home dialysis in Bridgewater.
