IPMBA EMS Cyclist
Program |
Since its inception in
1997, the IPMBA EMS Cyclist program has been sweeping the pre-hospital EMS
community around the country. This comprehensive program is increasingly
chosen as the favored training program for their EMS bicycle patrols. EMS
and fire departments large and small are selecting the IPMBA EMS Cyclist
program for their training needs.
Cost effectiveness and newfound mobility allow mountain bikes to bridge the
gap between foot patrol and ambulance which can mean the difference between
life and death in congested or crowded conditions. Experience has shown that
citizens are more likely to approach EMS personnel on a bike than in an
ambulance. Also, those on bikes are better able to use all of their senses
to detect and address problems.
The IPMBA EMS Cyclist program, like the Police Cyclist program, is based
on the proven and safe principles of the well know Effective Cycling program
created by John Forrester. Effective Cycling techniques combine principles
of traffic flow, state traffic laws, and physics of bicycling to produce
a method of cycling in traffic which enhances the predictability and safety
of the cyclist and surrounding motorists.
EMS Cyclist training is a result of input from a group of EMS bike patrol
experts. The program is also based on needs identified by working EMS bike
patrols. The material covered is very diverse and considers the use of the
bicycle as both effective transportation and as an effective EMS tool.
The IPMBA EMS Cyclist course emphasizes such EMS specific concerns as cycling
with a heavy load, EMS gear management, and scene safety. Lessons include
Fitness and Nutrition, Promoting Bike Safety, Effective Cycling, Technical
Cycling, Hazard Avoidance, Basic Maintenance, Uniforms and Equipment, Load
Placement, Legal Issues, and EMS Safety Considerations.
