Interesting, thanks - is that in the USA?... We have been in operation in Australia since November 2017 and have found that responding to lights & sirens jobs a siren/horn would be really effective. We go through red lights occasionally if safe but even still something more than a 'bring-bring'...
Hi all,
My service has just begun a Bicycle Response Team (BRT). We are fine tuning our equipment and I am after some advice - What lights & sirens do other services use? What about panniers? Any photos and web links would be appreciated... Thanks in advance.
