Who We Are
A group of local volunteers from the Northfield area.
What We Do
Cycling Without Age is an international organization started in 2012 in Copenhagen, Denmark by Ole Kassow. Ole’s dream was to provide an opportunity for elderly people with limited mobility a chance to experience the joy of bicycle riding again. The solution was a three wheel electric assist cycle called a trishaw. Two passengers sit side by side in a front bench seat and the pilot pedals from the back. Ole started offering free trishaw rides to local nursing home residents. Ole’s dream became a reality and has resulted in the formation of an organization called Cycling Without Age which has grown to over 2,000 chapters in over 40 countries. The purpose is to connect elderly citizens with volunteer pilots who give trishaw rides providing an opportunity to experience nature, develop new relationships, and remain active members of society. The population served in Northfield will be residents of care centers, Laura Baker, and other individuals who have limited mobility.
