Wales Now Sends Some Paramedics on Bicycle instead of Ambulance

As the world slowly returns to normalcy and people start going out again, alcohol-related incidents are also seeing a resurgence. To cope with the rising emergency calls, Welsh Ambulance Service has begun deploying paramedics on bicycles

The Cycling Response Unit (CRU) was founded to answer the calls at times when large happenings such as concerts or big holidays occur. Those are the times when more accidents are prone to happen, overwhelming the response team. Bikes are quick, nimble, yet able to carry the same equipment as rapid response vehicles, an ideal supporting plan when there are so many critical injuries at the same time.
