Because the first 30 minutes
can save a life.
Preparation • Community • Safety • Responsibility
Vision
Ride Ready: The First 30 isn’t a first-aid workshop. It’s an immersive experience designed to change the way riders think about accidents.
Every rider prepares for the ride. Very few prepare for the moment when another rider needs them the most.
Through powerful storytelling, real trauma expertise, and hands-on learning, participants discover how their actions in the first 30 minutes after a crash can make the difference between life and death.
Because before emergency services arrive, the first responder is usually another rider.
The Rubbyside Pledge
I ride with responsibility.
I respect the road, my machine, and every rider I meet.
I will stay calm when others panic.
I will choose knowledge over assumptions.
I will help before I look away.
I will prepare before I need to respond.
I will never stop learning.
Because every rider deserves to get home.

Yes. In India, the Good Samaritan Law protects people who help in good faith in an emergency. Your help can save a life.
Act. Don't hesitate.
Staying calm and following basic steps is better than doing nothing. Focus on safety, calling for help, and life-threatening issues.
Your intention to help matters.
Do NOT move unless absolutely necessary (e.g., fire, traffic danger). Moving can worsen spinal injuries. Keep the rider still and wait for help.

Let it ride if in doubt.
Place them in the Recovery Position (if no spinal injury suspected), monitor breathing, and wait for medical help.

Assume it is. Indicators: unresponsiveness, labored breathing, heavy bleeding, chest injury, deformity, severe pain, or no movement.
When in doubt, call for help.
