Bike paramedics stop the time-to-help-arriving clock, which is a KPI for health service administrators. As they can't transport people to hospital and they don't carry strong painkillers they're basically useless if you've got, say, a broken arm.

  It's a particularly key KPI if you happen to be having a heart attack, which is why the bikes carry defibrillators.
