First ride with us? Hereโ€™s what happens. ๐Ÿšฒ

1. Book online. Pick a day and a spot that suits you.
2. Meet your pilot. One of our friendly volunteers will be waiting with the trishaw at Paradise Point or The Spit.
3. Settle in. Our volunteers help you get comfortable and buckled in. Thereโ€™s a blanket if itโ€™s breezy, and a family member, friend or carer can sit right beside you.
4. Enjoy the ride. Around 30 to 45 minutes along the water, at a gentle pace, with plenty of time to chat (or just take in the view).
5. Head home with a smile. Most people ask when they can come back.

No cost, no rush, and no experience needed. Just bring your sunnies, because itโ€™s already feeling like summer on the Gold Coast. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Weโ€™ve given more than 25,000 free trishaw rides on the Gold Coast. Now weโ€™re wondering how far the bikes could go.

Weโ€™re in the early planning stages of a regional tour to the Western Darling Downs, proposed for May 2027. A fortnight on the road, bringing free trishaw rides to seniors and people with disability in regional Queensland.

Along the way, weโ€™d love to train local senior high school students to pilot the trishaws and take their own seniors and people with disability for rides.

Itโ€™s a big plan, and we canโ€™t do it alone. Weโ€™re looking for partners: funding bodies and philanthropists, community organisations, politicians and community leaders, councils, and aged care and disability providers.

More rides for more people, more often.

Our volunteer committee is looking for a Volunteer Secretary.

๐Ÿ“‹ About 3 to 4 hours a week
๐Ÿ’ป Online committee meetings every 6 weeks

Our rides tackle social isolation, getting seniors and people with disability out into the fresh air and back among their community, free of charge. Keeping them free takes a well-run committee behind the scenes, and thatโ€™s where the secretary comes in.

Youโ€™d suit it if youโ€™re organised, happy to work independently and care about what we do.

You wonโ€™t need to pedal. Your work just keeps the wheels turning for everyone who does.

Good with minutes? Weโ€™d love some of yours.

Who would you book a ride for?

Maybe itโ€™s your mum, who hasnโ€™t been down to the water in a while. A neighbour who doesnโ€™t get out much anymore. Your son or daughter, who would love the breeze and a pilot who chats the whole way round. Or a friend who just needs a slow morning by the water.

Our trishaw rides are free for older people and people with disability, and a carer, family member or friend can ride along beside them.

This week is National Carers Week.

It's a week for unpaid carers: the three million Australians who look after a partner, parent, child or friend, often for years, often without calling it "caring" at all. In Queensland, that's about 1 in 9 of us.

Look at who is sitting beside our guests in these photos. Some are family. Some are mates. Some are professional carers and support workers who have made the drive down to the Broadwater with a guest, yet again. On our rides, we're grateful to every one of them.

Carers hold a lot. Appointments, medications, the careful lift from the car, the worry that follows them home at night. And yet the person doing the caring is often the one nobody thinks to ask about.

On a ride, something shifts for a little while. Someone else does the pedalling. The breeze is the same for everyone on board, and the chat on the way back usually has nothing to do with care at all. We all need connection, the people who give care as much as the people who receive it.

To the unpaid carers this week belongs to: we see you. And to every professional carer who brings a guest to ride with us: thank you too. We hope you all head home a little lighter.

How are the carers in your life going this week? Maybe ask them.

๐Ÿ“ธ Photos with thanks to Simone Pettit, Rosalie Stillitano and Viola Briedis.

Today is World Mental Health Day, and this year's Australian theme is Together we Thrive. ๐Ÿ’™

Look at these faces. Every one of our rides starts with a volunteer who turned up, put on a vest and gave a morning to someone else. It turns out that's good for everyone's wellbeing, on both sides of the pedals.

Thank you to every pilot, helper and guest who makes this happen.
