A volunteer for the Blood Bike service has urged motorists to think about cyclist's safety after his bike was written off as he returned from an "urgent delivery".

He suffered minor injuries but says the damage has put their service at risk.

The blood bikers of Warwickshire and Solihull have carried out almost 6,000 jobs since they were set up in 2012 - the charity is supported by 80 volunteers who run the bikes and fundraising.

With a fleet of four bikes - the charity is now down to three.
