Starting a chapter in your community
We invite you to start up a chapter of Cycling Without Age, a worldwide movement that aims to provide joy and vitality to all through the magic of bicycle rides. Through the simple act of sharing a bike ride, it weaves a sense of community and gathers unique and invaluable stories, unlocked only by the wind and wheels.
We have launched a simple Affiliate model for communities, nursing homes, cities and individuals worldwide to become part of the movement.
