Time and Talents – Cycling Without Age in Southwark

Time & Talents, with the support of United St Saviours Charity and Cargobike Life CIC, is setting up a new branch of the international Cycling Without Age initiative in Rotherhithe.

Cycling Without Age is a movement started in Denmark in 2012 by Ole Kassow. Ole wanted to help the elderly get back on their bicycles, but he had to find a solution to their limited mobility. The answer was a trishaw and he started offering free bike rides to the local nursing home residents. Volunteers (pilots) sign up for bike rides with the elderly as often or as rarely as they want to. It’s a great way to stay fit and healthy in the outdoors, give something back to your community, get to know new people, and just have fun!

At T&T, we’re now looking for experienced cyclists who would like to volunteer to get involved with the scheme and help to make it a reality! Three trishaws have been delivered, and we aim to start growing a project, with some ‘pilot’ sessions in November, leading up to an exciting and fun Christmas programme to formally launch. Get in touch now and we’ll get you on board!
