“To help everyone experience the personal mobility, freedom, and joy of cycling”
The Cycling Without Age Story
For many people, a loss of mobility can mean the simple joys of getting outside to visit the park, chat with your neighbors, or even run to the grocery store can be a thing of the past. Thanks to an idea coming out of Denmark involving the humble bicycle, there’s an easy way to bring those moments back. It’s called Cycling Without Age and we’re proud to bring it to seniors of Minneapolis and St Paul.

Take a Joyride With Us
Use your ride with Cycling Without Age – Twin Cities to check out the renown Twin Cities bikeways, go grocery shopping, or visit a nearby park. The most common comment we hear after the ride is “that made my day.”
How We Give Rides
We give rides in one of two ways. The first is to show up with the trishaws at a senior-serving facility at a regularly scheduled time. For example, we’ve been giving rides every Thursday afternoon from Carondelet Village Senior Residence in St Paul for many years. We rely on facility staff to interface with and schedule the passengers.
The other way is special events where trishaw riding is the feature activity. During special events, we try to get as many passengers as possible out on short, neighborhood-based rides. After they come back, returning passengers invariably persuade the next group to go by simply saying what they think–that they enjoyed that ride immensely.

We Need Volunteer Cyclists, Too
Our e-bike trishaws are easy to drive and we’ll train you after you contact us by phone or email. After being trained, you will use our website to indicate the date and times you’re willing to provide rides. Once a passenger books a ride, you’ll get an email the details and you and your passenger take it from there.
