It's the first time I've heard of London's cycle responders. These paramedics are fully trained to work on their own and normally operate only in busy areas that are difficult to travel through in an ambulance or a car.
Depending on their training level the equipment cycle responders carry will vary but they'll most likely have with oxygen, defibrillator, airway equipment and some drugs.

Staff on bikes can get through narrow streets, pedestrian areas and shopping centres very easily. They are able to reach patients quickly and start to give life-saving treatment while an ambulance is on the way.
