Cycling has no age limits

Great idea!

Cycling Without Age is a global grassroots movement rapidly growing from coast to coast across Canada. The main purpose is to engaging seniors or less abled citizens by offering them free bike rides in specialized bicycles that provide the opportunity to remain an active part of society and to experience life beyond the confines of their residence or care centre.

Many elderly often experience a loss of mobility and independence. This leads to social isolation, loneliness, and depression. Time spent with the volunteers breaks them free from their social isolation.  The program gives them wind in their hair, the ability to connect with nature, and the chance to share their stories.
