Cycling Without Age Manchester is now located in the bike building in Charter Oak Park, 50 Charter Oak St, Manchester, CT 06040. This program was made possible by grants, and donations. Check out the map here, click here!
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 by going 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
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, and during our events this season, then this may be a great program for you. You will hear stories, create smiles and allow people to enjoy the outdoors as you stroll along the routes.
To get more information contact info@urcommunitycares.org or call 860-430-4557.

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.
Cycling Without Age Manchester allows residents to be on the move!
“Tapestry of Life” is the 2025 theme for National Skilled Nursing Care Center Week so TouchPoints in Manchester gave residents the thrill of their life! We were able to get residents outside, interact with our cyclists, enjoy the nice weather and a tie-dye project as well!
MARC Inc., Summer Concert Series
We were so excited to be a part of the summer concerts, we meet so many people who enjoy singing to the music during the rides!
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.
Make a difference in your community while meeting new people and even getting some free exercise.
To participate in our Manchester program as a pilot or to take a ride, reach out to info@urcommunitycares.org or call 860-430-4557.
