HISTORY
MedCycle was founded in 2015 by Paramedic Chris Polgar. With an interest in cycling and a commitment to quality EMS services, Polgar saw an opportunity for a new kind of emergency response model for events & other forms of nontraditional EMS Stand-By resources.
Polgar, who is a current hospital-based paramedic in the state of New Jersey, holds NREMT-P and MICP credentials. His 15 years of professional experience includes serving as a full-time lifeguard, EMT, Paramedic, and Chief of a local EMS squad. During this time, he utilized bikes to raise public awareness of the organization and assist in outreach and response. Polgar learned about IPMBA training and certification, and became determined to develop a high-quality bicycle EMS program. During this time, he saw more uses for bikes, and even a need for them: they could go where ambulances could not, and could do it faster than a responder on foot. He is a certified American Heart Association CPR trainer for individuals and healthcare professionals.
Since its inception, MedCycle has evolved to include a number of state-of-the-art Volcanic bicycles, additional EMT & Paramedic personnel, field equipment, and all basic EMS equipment for whatever the client's individual situation requires.
