Cycling Without Age Summit 2024

Summit Resources

Summit is an event bringing together the Cycling Without Age community from all corners of the world.

Since the movement’s inception in 2012, Cycling Without Age has grown from a single ride to over 3,000 active chapters in 40 countries, and nearly 40,000 pilots have been welcomed and trained and have ridden over 2.5 million rides with those who cannot ride a bike on their own.

Summit 2024 will focus on bringing all the combined knowledge and experience of our global community together for 3 days in Copenhagen.

Registration is now closed. If you would like to be considered for a space, please contact us about available Summit spaces.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

We will be diving into the systems change potential of Cycling Without Age, which will be of great interest to country leaders, chapter leaders, partners, healthcare professionals and other community members with a keen interest to learn and exchange knowledge.

Leading up to the Summit, Cycling Without Age will take part in the Ashoka Longevity Globalizer Accelerator program, which will prepare us for the future of healthy aging. Reach out to Pernille if you would like to get involved, and work with experts and other nonprofits to change the way we live for the better.
