Cycling Without Age is part of a global initiative dedicated to improving mental health and addressing the widespread issue of social isolation and loneliness. This affects our elderly and less mobile population.
Our Manchester program aims to create improved social interactions and intergenerational connections. We go to nursing homes, assisted living facilities, special events and in parks to reach people where they are.
UR Community Cares is helping new chapters get started and collaborating on ways to build more inclusive programming.
THE ABLE TABLE IS COMING SOON! In partnership with RiseUp For Arts, their artist, Joey Batts, is designing the mural that will wrap the table and be located in Charter Oak Park.

Become a Volunteer Pilot
Sign up on our website to be a pilot, it’s rewarding to see all the people enjoying this opportunity to see new places.
Rickshaw pilots do all the work – they operate our e-bikes to give a comfortable ride to our passengers. Pilots can volunteer whenever it fits best into their schedule. Click Volunteer at the top of our website to sign up so we can discuss training together!

Cycling Without Age Manchester – How to Get Involved
Together, volunteers and people experiencing loneliness and social isolation can partake in a shared bike experience in the park on a guided tour. Cycling Without Age seeks to reach older adults, people with temporary and permanent disabilities and, veterans who can benefit from the physical, emotional, and social benefits this experience affords. Geting outside, feeling the wind in your hair is an awesome way to spend the day.

We go to Nursing Homes and Assistive Living Facilities!
We are thankful for the opportunity to give residents rides, brighten their days and give them an outdoor experience they will never forget. Please let us know if you will be having an event that we can be a part of this fall.
