Great video. I am contemplating applying to join Blood Bikes as a rider (I'm east of Norwich, so the same sort of area as you). This has given me a great insight into what would be expected, thank you.

Great videos ,learnt a lot from the 2 you have done so far , its quite interesting to see you driving around my local area ,I think I've actually seen the car outside yours ( I won't say anymore than that as to keep your location private) , looking forward to more video's

the night riding footage is great so please bring us more of that .

Where have you gone mate . More streams please.

I have just am joining the Blood Bikers in Ireland .What a great cause when your retired or can offer some of your time to a great cause. Keep up the good work and i am looking forwards to joining you all . We are all of one a biker groups that works in the dark .No one knows that your even going past there homes late at night .To take milk to a new born baby that cant feed on its mother .Most people will never need this service but please support it.

Sadly as I had an advert after just 3 minutes I won't bother watching the rest

In my opinion blood bikes should be classed as an 4th emergency service and have the benefits of the others services, having had the suitable training of course. Many, many moon's ago I was passing through crossroads that was ATS operated, ( green for us.) to my right was a St John's ambulance with the blue lights flashing so all the traffic stopped to let them go (red for them), but the Ambulace stayed in situ until the ATS changed.

Brilliant video, and thank you for your time to do this !! Hello from Freewheelers Bristol. I'm a blood biker volunteer for Bristol Freewheelers, doing Cordinator/Controller and Talks Coordinator, doing it for 5 years 😀

Do you guys have blue lights?

This video has really inspired me on my journey to one day be a blood biker. I look forward to more videos. Please dont stop 😁😁

A really nice video, very informative and well filmed. Convinced me to spend £230+ on the day. (bit of trivia; Ushers is named after Richard Usher, the chap who developed both the track and The Great British Car Journey. Nice bloke)

Curious why your guys go all the way to Addenbrooks when SERV Suffolk and Cambridgeshire are in and out of there all time and can easily meet you at the Thetford RV?

I don't wanna sound insensitive but can you do blood delivery and get paid? .

Good to see someone covering what it is to be a blood biker. You all need more appreciation for your selfless dedication and invaluable volunteer service. I am shortly due to take my IAM exam after making the grade and hope to progress onto blood bikes locally to me. It would be good to give something back like this.

Its pretty sad that the NHS does not bother to pay any of these people. Most of the time they have to pay the fuel etc. They run the risk of fines etc if they go one mile an hour over the speed limit. I would invest my time in this but Its too predatory for my sentimentalities using the good will of other without even showing any financial help at all. They risk their lives while others doing less important jobs recieve sick pay holiday pay pension help etc. Thank god that some people have the wealth of time and finances to do a job that should definitely be appreciated more.

I am taking my assessment next week to ride for Nottinghamshire Blood Bikes . And being a FJR rider will help with the bike.

Is there any paid roles?

Great video. Thank you. Liked and Subscribed.

Great videos, honest, straightforward no BS.

I like to join u on the road

I'm loving it to see your videos. Sadly there is no organization here in The Netherlands to provide such services. Although the traffic in this small country is much more crowded then the UK. Keep up the good work. Greetings from here on the Pan European ST1100.

Really enjoyed your videos. Would really like to see more stuff especially about being a blood biker.

great video, thanks. Just got my full licence in december 22, booked on iam in july, croft. I'll def be in the slowest group, however wondering if even this would be too much (fast) for me, (i caught the comment about you touching your footpeg down lol) and i Need more experience.

I shall follow with curiosity.

As i do both meaning i use my bike as often as i can to go somewhere to take pictures.

I shall follow with interest.

😎

I'm getting ready to retire in the next year, and am planning to do similar volunteer work in the USA. Can anyone put me in touch with the Livery that produces/cuts the 3M vinyl that your bikes wear? I ask because in my opinion it's better to go with a company experienced in these matters, that already has the patterns (mine is a BMW R1200RTP). Thanks.

wow fantastic, enjoyed finding out about this service! I wonder if any areas of Canada have a similar set-up

Nice videos, good work! I assume you will also use a car in real bad weather, like snow and (black) ice. Are there guidelines for when using the bike or the car? Just curious... Thank you.

Really enjoyed the video! I’m also in Norfolk and when life gives me a bit more time this is something I’d be keen to do.

Really enjoyed this. A great insight into the work you guys do. Removing some of the romanticism and showing how vital your work is. Camera work, editing and presentation was spot on. Thank you. Subbed.

Thank you!

👍

My Bloodbiker mate did a presentation at WI down here in Cornwall. The ladies loved it and have already organised fundraisers already. You guys (and girls of course) are heroes all. Out in all weathers. Stay safe guys and thank you

Always wondered how this service worked- thanks for behind-the-scenes.

Got several mates who are Bloodbikers. All you guys are heroes. And great video, man. You got no worries. More please.

Wow. You have provided a real insight in to what blood bikers actually do in real terms. Thank you for demonstrating and thank you for the dedication in helping others.

An interesting insight into the demands of the role you undertake for theNHS. Superb video. Well done.

Cheers for the feedback Gents

I have not been a teenager since 1968 and now my hearing is such that background music is quite annoying even when it sounds like a dreamy Mark Knopfler. Music and speech Hmmm!. Imagine If we all carried an iPod and every time we spoke we turned the music on first. Of course I echo what others have said so far.

So this purely voluntary? If so as noble as your cause may be it's just exploitation by your NHS. We have the same scenario here with volunteers in the Ambulance Service where it's been that way utlising volunteers to double man (one permanent, one volunteer) an Ambulance for many years now. They string them along with a 'possible' permanent position whereas for the most part their rationale is why pay to have a permanent when you can have someone do the job for nothing. Has always remained somewhat of a contentious issue.

Great video showing what's involved as a volunteer driver/rider for BB. The FJR 1300 headlight is really good. Great music as well, very professionally produced video. You would have thought the James Padget would get that frikin' door sorted out! Defeats the object of BB getting products to the hospital asap.

A+++.

You do fantastic work. BB is something I have always thought of applying for. I have a question. Why use bikes during the night when the roads are pretty much empty devoid of traffic? I would have thought a car as your colleague Scott had would be just as easy and frankly safer especially during winter at night? I can understand using a bike during the day or when there traffic is going to be an issue as a bike can get through or past traffic so much more easily than a car. And also driving or riding late at night do you have to stick to the speed limits if you are on such a critical mission possibly to save some one's life could you for instance ride along an empty motorway type dual carriageway at 120+mph? Surely if time was so critical to get the products where they needed to be perhaps it would be a case of a blue light run by police or another emergency response vehicle who would have the training and authorisation to drive/ride at high speed? Just curious. Great video. I wouldn't have known it was your first video if you hadn't had said. A+++.

Thank You for giving up your free time and providing the NHS with your service. As someone who lost 6 pints of blood on the operating table you guys and the NHS are knights in shinning armour. Thank you Ralph👍

Respect - I take my hat off to you and your colleagues, what a fantastic role you undertake.

@capturelight ((Jerry?) Could you give me the make/model of the helmet you use as a bloom biker please. I am looking for a similar design that will low my Mike and speakers comfortably

Good on ya bro for giving up ya time for this much needed service ... Background music is annoying & far too loud mate, it's drowning out your audio, while talking either kill it all together or turn it down considerably.

Thankyou for your dedication and hard work behind the scenes. Another unsung hero, where would we be without you helping to save lives. V interesting video
