Online petition calling for use of green lights on Blood Bike motorcycles passes 20,000 responses

 

An online petition calling for Blood Bike charity riders to be able to use green lights during their delivery runs has netted more than 20,000 signatures since January 2, 2026.

It follows the tragic death of volunteer rider Andrew Rogers of Blood Bikes Wales, who passed away in hospital on January 1, following a collision near Llanddarog on December 29, 2025.

The appeal was established by Merseyside and Cheshire Blood Bikes volunteer, Louise Burns-Lunt, who hopes to raise awareness of the issue and increase rider safety moving forward.

“I was just asking ‘what more could be done?,’” Burns-Lunt told MCN. “How did they miss somebody who’s so visible on the road when the bikes are mostly massive, they’re luminous, the guys are all in luminous gear, but it’s still not enough.”

Blood Bike charities operate across the UK and Ireland, with volunteer riders transporting life-saving blood, platelets, samples, surgical instruments, human donor milk, and more.
