Cycling Without Age

Cycling Without Age is all about getting older people out into the community, participating, meeting people and remaining an active part of the local community.

We do that by giving them the right to wind in their hair, the right to experience the city and nature close up from the rickshaw and by giving them an opportunity to tell their story in the environment where they have lived their lives. That way we build bridges between generations and we reinforce trust, respect and the social glue in our society.

Volunteers sign up for bike rides with the elderly and are guided to incorporate our principles: generosity, storytelling, without age, slowness, relationships. At present more than 450 chapters around the world offer Cycling Without Age from well over 1,500 trishaws – and the numbers are still growing. More than 10,000 pilots ensure that the elderly get out of their care homes, out on the rickshaws to enjoy the fresh air and the community around them. There are already 5 Chapters getting up and running in Minnesota. Learn more about how you can get started right here:
