A new community initiative is rolling into the Redlands Coast, bringing connection, joy, and fresh air to residents who need it most. Cycling Without Age, a global movement dedicated to offering free trishaw rides to older adults and people with limited mobility, has officially launched a local chapter in the Redlands.
The program pairs trained volunteer “pilots” with passengers who ride in specially designed two seat trishaws or wheelchair accessible models. These slow, social rides along the region’s scenic foreshores and shared pathways give participants the chance to feel the wind on their face, enjoy conversation, and reconnect with the world beyond their front door.
Becoming an approved chapter marks an exciting milestone for the Redlands community. Organisers believe the program will deliver meaningful social and wellbeing benefits, helping reduce isolation and strengthening community bonds across the coast.
Cycling Without Age began in Denmark and has since expanded worldwide, including a growing presence in Australia. More information about the national organisation is available at the Cycling Without Age Australia website cyclingwithoutage.org.au.
