Update you on our progress with Cycling Without Age coming to Ireland.
The first rickshaw bike arrived in Dublin on Monday, 13th March 2017. We were delighted to take up the invitation from the Dublin Cycling Campaign to participate in the Dublin St Patrick’s Day Parade under the banner of 200 Years of Cycling. See the photo of us at the start of the parade. We purchased this first bike from personal funds, so as to have a model to demonstrate to nursing homes and sponsors. We hope to have this bike crowd-funded.
Now that we have the bike here, we will be happy to talk to people, organisations, nursing homes, potential sponsors and others about how to promote the concept of Cycling Without Age here. We already have expressions of interest from some sponsors and organisations, and offers from volunteer pilots, whom we will train in the bike’s use. Please let us know if you would like more information.

Hello- I am interested in being a volunteer. No convictions, apart from moral ones!
Dr. Florence Craven, Maynooth.
I would like to get involved too! Particularly in the Cork area! Garda vetted and all!
As a care assistant in a nursing home would absolutely love to introduce this concept to residents.
I’m really interested to volunteer as a pilot in Cork City. I’m keen cyclist who would love to help out and give back to the community. Cheers Sinéad
