BMW 6

When the charity was formed back in 2011 as Cornwall Freewheelers, the Duchy’s Volunteer Blood Bike service was born and over the years the charity has taken baby steps to quietly and conscientiously provide a professional service.

In 2015 a rebrand was needed and the new era of Cornwall Blood Bikes beckoned.

In that time we have always had wonderful support from greater established Blood Bike charities across the Country and the opportunities to purchase excellent condition second hand BMW 1200 RTP bikes.

Our BMW 6 was purchased in Mid 2017 as an excellent second hand bike with 76,880 miles on the clock from our colleagues at Severn Freewheelers EVS; the regional Blood Bike group covering Gloucestershire, Hereford & Worcester & North Wilts.

Our Fundraising Manager Ian Butler headed over the board and “up country” to bring this one back to Kernow to continue its operational service. Its current mileage (November 2020) is 114,716 on the clock, having completed over 50,000 operational miles on duty for CBB and proudly attending fundraising events across the region.
