Cycling Without Age is a non-profit service that aims to improve the quality of life for all community members. We are part of a larger organization that was founded in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2012. Since then, CWA has grown and expanded with chapters all over the world. Our local Chapter works in collaboration with New Hope Community Bikes, registered charity; through their social program of refur

bishing bikes and other initiatives, we are one of the beneficiaries. We also benefit from recruitment of volunteers from New Hope who share the same vision for a better and accessible community and are grateful to have them as a partner. We believe that everyone has “The right to the wind in their hair” meaning those who would otherwise not be able to cycle independently now can experience the benefits of being outside and realizing the enjoyment that cycling brings. We serve seniors and persons with both visible and invisible disabilities. Please contact us if you have further questions or would like to donate to our cause.

Super day at the fair.

Rides in Hamilton (on the mountain), at 10 Pearl Street, and on the waterfront in Burlington. Super day for rides!

05/23/2026

First week of the 2026 season. Great rides for passengers in Burlington, Dundas, and on the Hamilton waterfront. A rather inauspicious first day for Burlie with a flat tyre on the first ride with new passengers. Burlie got a ride home thanks to CAA. Good thing their flat bed truck was nearby. Super volunteers knew what to do!

Three separate training sessions for new and returning pilots happened this week. Passenger rides start right after the long weekend.

Thanks to Lorraine Chapman and Tammy Heidbuurt for nominating me for an Ontario Volunteer Service Award. The passion that these two women bring to our Cycling without Age chapter has inspired me to keep showing up every day. Along with our more than 80 volunteers that I have had the privilege of working with I can’t wait to start riding again when we open our 2026 season this month. I am extremely grateful for this recognition.

And indoor training is complete! 22 new pilots all set for outdoor training in May. Big should out to our trainers Geoffrey, Scott, Sharon, Lorraine, Heather and Meredith. And trishaw Hammie is now at its summer home too. Meredith and Heather took a chilly 7 km ride down to Leander Boat Club.

Last week at the Dundas Legion we were able to announce we have all the funds for the purchase of a wheelchair trishaw, as other Dundas donors stepped up to supplement the $10k legion donation to the required $24k. Deliver time is at least 4 months so it would be ‘autumn rides’ for sure with both trishaws.

Super indoor training day. 8 new pilots practice around the posts and focus on the handbook. Can’t wait for outdoor training in a few weeks.

And so it begins. First day of indoor training. Thanks to Robert for tuning up and bringing the trishaw over for us. Forgot to take any pictures of the actual training or the new pilots. Thanks to Dawnelle and Scott for training.
