Cycling Without Age

Maryland's First Chapter started here, in St. Mary's County!!

At a recent "Envision the Future through Creativity" (www.EnvisionSoMd.org) meeting, a guest suggested that St. Mary's County should have a Cycling Without Age chapter. We have begun the process! If you are interested in being a pilot or want to join in the organizing, you may contact Christina@CyclingWithoutAge.com. We are well on our way to funding two trishaws!!! I hope to get: one in Charlotte Hall area, one in Leonardtown, and one in Lexington Park, to service the three main population areas of St. Mary's County.
I am happy to give a short presentation to your organization on this wonderful program. And, as always, I am happy to cycle with anyone now with our own regular bikes (to stay in shape), anytime you're willing. I have a couple of good routes from my house.

Cycling Without Age is a movement started in 2012 by Ole Kassow. Ole wanted to help the elderly get back on their bicycles, but he had to find a solution to their limited mobility. The answer was a trishaw and he started offering free bike rides to the local nursing home residents.
