Cycling Without Age - Port Fairy

Cycling Without Age is a program developed in Europe that is spreading around the world. We are aiming to bring this marvellous and collaborative program to our coastal community for the benefit of aged care residents and local community groups. Partnering initially between the keen cycling community of Port Fairy and residents connected with Moyne Health Services, Cycling Without Age - Port Fairy will provide access for residents wishing to feel the wind through their hair cruising the community on custom made Trio bikes.

Social isolation and loneliness can be a difficult issue to deal with, especially when your ability to get out and about is limited. The aim for our project is to connect our local community with members of our community who may not easily or regularly have access to getting out and about with a visitor or friend. Equally the program encourages young and old alike to see the benefits of being socially and physically active (as 'pilots' of the taxis) and build their sense of connectedness within the wider community. The team is ready - we just need bikes!
