Cycling Without Age

Looking for a fun and unique way to get out and about? Cycling Without Age Perth offers free trishaw rides for seniors and people with disabilities, giving them the chance to enjoy the outdoors, connect with their community, and feel the wind in their hair! This wonderful initiative is all about bringing joy, building connections, and creating memories.

What is Cycling Without Age?

Cycling Without Age is a global movement that started in Denmark and has now spread to Perth. The idea is simple: trained volunteers (called Pilots) take passengers on specially designed trishaws for leisurely rides around scenic locations. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy the fresh air, meet new people, and experience the beauty of Perth.

Free Community Rides

Cycling Without Age Perth offers free rides most days of the week at various locations across the Perth metro area. These rides are perfect for seniors or people with disabilities who may not be able to ride a bike themselves. Whether it’s a trip along the river or a ride through a local park, these outings are sure to bring a smile to your face.

Booking a ride is easy! Simply email bookings@cyclingwithoutage-perth.org.au with the following details:

Your name (or organisation, if applicable)
Emergency contact details
Passenger name(s)
Number of passengers
Preferred date, time, and location
If a wheelchair trishaw is required (yes, they have trishaws that can carry wheelchairs!)

Why Try It?

The benefits of Cycling Without Age go beyond just the ride. Research has shown that these outings help improve social connections, encourage reminiscence, and foster a sense of belonging. It’s not just about the destination – it’s about the experience, the stories shared, and the joy of being part of the community.

Cycling Without Age Perth is always looking for volunteers to help keep this amazing program running. Whether you’d like to be a Pilot (rider), help with organising rides, or assist with admin and social media, there’s a role for everyone.
