Cycling Without Age, Maryborough Vic

By starting up a Cycling Without Age chapter in Maryborough Vic, the local cycling community, volunteers and youth will be able to take nursing home residents and senior citizens on bike rides in Maryborough and the surrounding area. This will build relationships and allow volunteer pilots to give something back to the elderly population who have 'done their bit'. It will allow senior citizens with limited mobility to venture outdoors and enjoy "The Right to Wind in Your Hair". It will bridge a gap between younger and older populations in Maryborough, promote 'active citizenship' and enhance trust in the community.

We're all heading on the same path that our grandparents are on. It's an inevitable journey of life. Cycling Without Age reminds us of our relationship with our elders and starts with the simple act of generosity. Give our time to them when they gave us their care and time. There are lots of stories to be shared through storytelling from our elders, but also from us. They want to listen to us too and through this bridge we form meaningful relationships. Life doesn't have to end at a given age, we can embrace it through something as simple cycling.
