Cycling Without Age Manchester has offered free rides since 2023, and we're just getting started. 🚲

Thank you to the Town of Manchester for recognizing how much our parks and trails need to be accessible to everyone. With that support, we've been able to offer rides at community events for older adults, people with disabilities, and their families.

Now, thanks to a CT DEEP grant award, we can grow the program and plan for the years ahead. https://portal.ct.gov/governor/news/press-releases/2026/10-2026/governor-lamont-announces-state-grants-for-recreational-trails?language=en_US

Our community is aging, and so is the need for connection. Cycling Without Age is intergenerational at its heart: a young pilot, a passenger with decades of stories, and a conversation that goes both ways. That's what we're building toward.

Help us grow it by signing up to volunteer as a pilot. We're fundraising to expand rides, reach more neighborhoods, and keep this program rolling for years to come. Every donation keeps a rickshaw on the trail and a neighbor out in the fresh air.
