Are you looking to Volunteer?

Cycling Without Age is a Volunteer organization. Volunteers support the CWA initiative by becoming a pilot for the trishaws, arrange rides and support all administrative functions. We welcome new members to join us to provide ‘the right to wind in your hair’ for the many senior citizens in our community where we bring smiles and laughter in the outdoors.  Just head over to the contact page to express your interest.

My name is Pat, and I have been a volunteer with Cycling without Age since the first rides in 2019. I have done a lot of volunteering in my life, and this volunteer job is definitely the best! Where else can you experience fitness, fresh air and amazing people while exploring local trails? My favourite part of CWA is being able to meet such interesting passengers with stories to share and much gratitude for the opportunity for "wind in their hair". Cycling along the Rail Trail with seniors in my care makes me remember not to take mobility for granted and to appreciate all that we have to be grateful for. I love how well the program is organized, and how easy it is for me to do the part I love best!

Join Us And Become A Pilot!

Do you want to make a difference in the lives of seniors and the less abled individuals in return for personal satisfaction and fulfillment? We often take for granted the simple freedom of getting outside and enjoying our beautiful town. Many seniors and less abled individuals do not have this freedom, confined to their homes or care facilities, unable to be an active part of their community.

We recruit volunteers to be the  trishaw bicycle drivers, or “pilots” as they are referred to. Rides will generally be 60 – 90 minutes long. The rides are not about going fast or far. You are able to volunteer as little or as much time as you wish. The trishaws have electric assist drive so a high level of fitness is not mandatory.

We will provide all the training you need, you just need to bring a smile, some energy and fun to drive the trishaw!

You can give the opportunity for someone to feel the wind in their hair, to experience our beautiful scenery and lively city, or to share a story while on the trishaw.  We believe that we are the glue in our society building bridges between generations, reinforcing trust and respect.

Every Ride is a Gift – Come Join Us
