Generosity: Cycling Without Age is based on generosity and kindness. It starts with the obvious generous act of taking one or two elderly or less-abled people out on a bike ride. It’s a simple act that everyone can do.

Slowness: Slowness allows you to sense the environment, be present in the moment and it allows people you meet along the way to be curious and gain knowledge about Cycling Without Age because you make time to stop and talk.

Storytelling: Older adults have so many stories that will be forgotten if we don’t reach out and listen to them. We tell stories, we listen to stories on the bike and we also document the stories when we share them via word of mouth or on social media.

SCHEDULE A RIDE WITH US OR VOLUNTEER AS A PILOT!

We offer free 45-minute rides on the Joe Rodota trail

We encourage passengers to ride with friends and family members, however, the trishaw has a passenger limit of 350 pounds. If both passengers exceed the weight limit, the accompanying family member/friend is encouraged to bike alongside the trishaw. We have assistant pilots who can sit next to the passenger if requested.
