The Right to Feel the Wind in Your Hair

What we do.

We are a group of volunteers committed to supporting a higher quality of life for older and less mobile people by offering them the opportunity to get outside and to feel the wind in their hair. We work with a number of care homes in Sheffield taking out their residents each week.

We use electric motor assisted “tri-bikes” which have room for two passengers. We usually visit one of the beautiful local parks. Cycling in parks provides opportunities to touch flowers, feel the wind in your hair, laugh at ducks, chat with other park visitors and find unexpected sculptures. We enjoy the seasons, from low winter sunshine and tree silhouettes to the summer scent of roses. Each ride takes up to an hour. We carefully plan our link route to the park, keeping to back roads and cycle paths as far as possible.

All our volunteer “pilots” are fully trained in using the tri-bikes, Rhubarb and Ginger, and are confident to ride safely at all times. We are fully insured.

We do not charge for this service as all costs are covered by generous donations.

We are part of a global movement! There are over 1200 cities and towns around the world where Cycling Without Age groups take older people out on jaunts.
