Last month, the ladies from James Ommaney Retirement Community had a delightful time on their trishaw ride around Rocks Riverside Park, thanks to Cycling Without Age. This not-for-profit charity is dedicated to connecting elderly and less-abled individuals with their community and the outdoors by offering free rides on trishaw ebikes, piloted by volunteer cyclists.
About Cycling Without Age
Cycling Without Age aims to bridge generations and combat loneliness by providing seniors with opportunities to avoid social isolation and remain active in their community. These bike rides allow them to feel the wind in their hair and stay connected with the world around them.
A day to remember
The joy experienced by the ladies at James Ommaney Retirement Community was palpable. Their wonderful day together inspired them to donate $30 to support Cycling Without Age, showing their appreciation for this meaningful initiative.
Cycling Without Age is a wonderful service offering free rides for passengers across the country, and volunteer pilots generously give their time. The ladies at James Ommaney generously whipped around and made a donation to Cycling Without Age. You can learn more about Cycling Without Age on their website.
