Cycling Without Age is part of a global initiative dedicated to improving mental health and addressing the widespread issue of social isolation and loneliness that affects our elderly and less mobile population. Our Manchester program aims to create improved social interactions and intergenerational connections. UR Community Cares is helping new chapters get started and collaborating on ways to build more inclusive programming.
Become a Volunteer Pilot
Rickshaw pilots do all the work, they operate our e-bike 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, then we will be in touch to discuss training. If you have strong legs and have a few hours a month to take people around Charter Oak Park, into the East Coast Greenway, then this may be a great program for you. You will see a canopy of trees, a roaring brook as passengers are telling you stories, going down memory lane and taking in the scenery.

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.

MARC Inc., Summer Concert Series
We were so excited to be a part of the summer concerts, we were able to meet so many people who were singing and dancing to the music.
Events at Arbors at Hop Brook and Manchester Manor Carnival were so much fun!
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.
