Cycling Without Age USA, Lynchburg

Cycling Without Age is a transformational initiative that provides older people who spend much of their time indoors and inactive a regular opportunity to enjoy the simple pleasure of being outside, to breathe fresh air, and feel the wind in their faces. It also offers them an opportunity for conversation and engagement with a younger person who is the “pilot” on the bike ride. The intergenerational interaction is of immeasurable benefit to our community, connecting volunteers to our elders.

The vehicle – a “trishaw” – has two wheels and the passenger seat in the front and one wheel in the back under the pilot. The unit is also equipped with a motor and battery.
