Mighty Spoke Posted February 5, 2011 Share Just a thank you to Lexus and Helivac for an outstanding initiative. Lexus The Glen is sponsoring an RX350 vehicle, and Helivac provides a paramedic, and they drive support every weekend in JHB South for the 7:00 groups. It has now been a few weeks, and I for one feel so much safer on the bike. Traffic now respects us, and if there is a fall, instant paramedic! Thanks Warren Swartz (Lexus) and Shaun Hannie (Helivac)!

Mighty Spoke Posted February 8, 2011 Share I am guessing from the interest that no-one really wants the support vehicles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helivac Marshals Posted May 4, 2011 Share Please note that the Lexus Vehicle is no longer manned by an Paramedic. The Paramedic is now on duty with the Helivac Motorcycle Marshals every Saturday from 07:00 on the Lido and Steps routes. It will either be an BMW or Audi A3 vehicle. The Paramedic can be reached by calling the Helivac Call Center on 0861 4354822. The Paramedic will be dispatched to your location immediately. If there is an Motorcycle Marshal close by, the Marshal shall call the vehicle to the location and assist with first aid until the Paramedic arrive. Please show your support by asking for a sticker from the Marshals at the start / finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we use our own bikes to Marshal the Cyclist around. We have plenty a Marshal on a Superbike.

Please show your support by asking for a sticker from the Marshals at the start / finish. This is incorrect. The Paramedics in the Lexus are no longer supplied by Helivac but are now supplied by ER24. Edited May 9, 2011 by Captain Slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted May 9, 2011 Share forgot to mention.....ER24 also supplies an Ambulance that follows the groups as well...... the more organisations and initiatives looking after the cyclists, the BETTER!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
