Cycling Without Age Australia
Cycling Without Age is an international, not-for-profit organisation which connects elderly people to their local community by taking them out on specially designed trishaw e-bikes to allow them to ‘feel the wind in their hair’! For the comfort of our passengers we ride at a maximum 10kph.
