Cycling Without Age comes to Ireland!
Imagine... your parent, grandparent, or other relative or friend now lives in a nursing/care home. It may be fine, but a bit boring, being stuck in there day after day, not much chance to get out, especially if they are less mobile/able nowadays. Now, imagine if someone arrived with a pedal-powered specially- built rickshaw bicycle, to take them out for a FREE spin! No charge, just the chance to take a spin around the local area, feel the wind in their hair, see the sights! Cycling Without Age, www.cyclingwithoutage.ie, offers this service to nursing/care homes around the world, and I have been granted the first licence to it in Ireland. We now have these special bikes in Ireland. Companies are sponsoring them, donating them to nursing and care homes and sending their staff as pilots (cyclists) as part of their CSR programmes.
