A Warm Welcome to Cycling Without Age

Starting a chapter in your local community

Getting started with a Cycling Without Age chapter is an amazing experience. Nothing beats witnessing the joy of the elderly, pilots and personnel interact on and around the trishaw and seeing the smiles of passengers coming back from their first ride with wind in their hair, rosy cheeks and full of stories. We love to experience the movement of Cycling Without Age spreading all over the world and always welcome more to join.

We have launched a simple Affiliate model for communities, nursing homes, cities and individuals worldwide to become part of the movement. We already have a wealth of experience in working with nursing home staff and management, city councils, other volunteer organizations, cyclists federations as well as great ideas of how to get the initiative off the ground and locals excited.

The Grey Escape

By Michael Dorgan, Director/Producer at Go Forth Films

Lean back and enjoy The Grey Escape, a half hour documentary about a life-changing 4-day journey in which twenty elderly people deliver trishaws from Denmark to Norway. Use it professionally, use it at your fundraisers, watch it with future passengers, rock up your community – or just watch it for your own pleasure.

Marie from the film is still alive and kicking, and in April 2019 she turned 100, which was celebrated with a joyous trishaw ride with friends through Copenhagen, visiting the Royal Palace Amalienborg and eating birthday cake.

“The biggest problem for elderly people is that they don’t use their senses.

And there’re also the social stimuli we get exposed to when we bike. We get together when we bike across all social groups and different generations come together.”
