Cycling Without Age Scotland - Peebles CWAS Peebles aspire to help build a community of inclusive active citizenship. For an ageing population to be seen, to be active, to be included.

Our Guiding Principles

Generosity: Cycling Without Age is based on generosity and kindness. It starts with the obvious generous act of taking one or two elderly or less-abled people out on a bike ride. It’s a simple act that everyone can do. Slowness: Slowness allows you to sense the environment, be present in the moment and it allows people you meet along the way to be curious and gain knowledge about Cycling Without Age because you make time to stop and talk. Storytelling: Elderly people have so many stories that will be forgotten if we don’t reach out and listen to them. Relationships: Cycling Without Age is about creating new relationships: between generations, among the elderly, between pilots and passengers, nursing homes employees and family members. Relationships build trust, happiness and quality of life. Without Age: Life does not end when you turn 75. Life unfolds at all ages, young and old, and can be thrilling, fun, sad, beautiful and meaningful. Cycling Without Age is about letting people age in a positive context. How It Works
Volunteers (pilots) sign up for bike rides with the elderly as often or as rarely as they want to. It’s all driven by people’s own motivation. At present (September 2017) more than 450 chapters around the world offer Cycling Without Age from well over 1,500 trishaws – and the numbers are still growing. More than 10,000 pilots ensure that the elderly get out of their nursing homes, out on the bikes to enjoy the fresh air and the community around them. They give them the right to wind in their hair.

The best seat in the Tweed Valley? Right here. 👇

Katie and Ally took Jacqueline and Lynn out around Haystoun and the Hydro this afternoon. From loops around the scenic Haystoun Estate to coasting down the high street to the Hydro, our volunteer pilots love bringing ‚miles of smiles‘ to the community.

It was Jacqueline and Lynn’s first time on the trishaw and they loved it!

Swipe / watch to the end to see the rest of our morning adventure! 🌤️👇

Making memories on three wheels.

A great ride out this morning with Beryl, Marion, Pat and Linda from Dementia Friendly Tweedale.

Pat’s first time on trishaw. She had never been around Haystoun before, nor had she been along the Tweed Path, winding up through Whitestone Park. She loved the wild flowers. On returning to Firholm she said „ it’s made my day, my week, my year!“
