I’m Kye. I work in the emergency services and I formed Bodmin Bikers. Bodmin Bikers is a delivery team for medication from doctors’ surgeries to pharmacies. We’re also a food delivery, so if you need your essentials… bread, milk.

“我是凯。我在紧急救援机构工作，我组建了 ‘博德明骑手’（Bodmin Bikers）。‘博德明骑手’ 是一支药物递送团队，可以把药物送到社区诊所和药房等地。我们也送食物，所以如果你需要必需品（我们也可以送），比如面包、牛奶。”

We’ve been trying to self-isolate as much as possible and go out as little as possible. And Sarah, my partner, she suffers quite badly with asthma as well. So, as a family, we’ve just, yes, tried to keep ourselves to ourselves as much as possible, and these gentlemen make it so much easier.

杰森·马丁
“我们一直在尽可能多地自我隔离、尽可能少出门。我爱人莎拉，还患有相当严重的哮喘病。所以，作为一家人，我们试着尽量避免与他人接触，而这些男士们让这一切都变得容易多了。”

Since starting, just a couple of weeks ago, eighteen people have now volunteered, including a chef, plumber and supermarket worker.

Brandon Lee, Bodmin Bikers
I’m Brandon, AKA Spider-Man, part of Bodmin Bikers. People see us riding around, they wave at us. It was really nice to see. You know, to go out, make people happy, make them laugh. And I just thought, you know, give people a bit of happiness while we’re in this pandemic at the moment.

布兰登·李     “博德明骑手”（Bodmin Bikers）
