NORTH SHORE

Who Are We
Cycling Without Age is a global movement started in 2012 in Denmark with the aim of improving the lives of the elderly and helping them to break free from social isolation. Cycling Without Age North Shore was established in 2019 as a program of Silver Harbour Seniors’ Activity Centre.

What We Do
Cycling Without Age North Shore takes mobility-challenged residents for trishaw rides along North Shore’s amazing forest trails, offering fresh air, conversation, and the opportunity to feel the wind in their hair! We have grown our ridership from 460 passengers in 2022 to 580 in 2023 operating our three electric-assisted trishaws which travelled almost 2,000 km. A fourth trishaw is on order which will enable us to increase the number of rides we can offer in 2024!

Most of our rides are organized through 15 seniors’ residences and care organizations we partner with, collaborating with recreational therapists at these facilities. Cycling Without Age North Shore is also reaching out to individuals living in their own homes to provide them access to the trishaws. In 2024, in addition to hosting public rides at the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve and Bridgman Park (Lynn Creek), we will be participating in community events such as West Vancouver’s Community Cultural Fest and Lynn Valley Days.

New in 2024 for West Vancouver is a free weekly service to bring passengers from their home to Ambleside Park using West Vancouver Seniors’ Activity Centre’s accessible Shuttle Bus Service! From here passengers will enjoy a fun trishaw ride along the Spirit Trail! Rides take place every Tuesday morning from 10 am.
