NORTH SHORE
The right to wind in their hair
Cycling Without Age (visit the site and view the video) is an international program in 50+ countries for mobility challenged people, mostly seniors. We aim to help them enjoy the fresh air and scenery of their surroundings from the front of a trishaw while travelling along multi-use trails and low traffic roads. We break our passengers free from social isolation and make them smile. Bring back their memories and let them be part of society again, thereby renewing their appetite for life itself. It is not only about the passengers but also about giving the pilots, the volunteers, the opportunity to join a team of like-minded people working together to improve the lives of others.

About Us
Cycling Without Age North Shore is a program of Silver Harbour Seniors’ Activity Centre in North Vancouver. We offer free rides, on the equipment shown in the photo to mobility challenged people of all ages, commencing in the Spring of 2023. To view a video introducing our service click the link North Shore Trishaw Ride. For a report on our progress in 2022 see our report here. Thanks to the support of very generous donors, we have acquired three trishaws and a cargo trailer to serve as a mobile base. These allow us to offer a full program of rides on the Spirit Trail, Green Necklace, Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve (LSCR) Trail and the other routes. Our routes and pickup points are shown on the map. Click here to view the map.
Book your ride
We are currently contacting care residences to offer rides and also invite people living in their own homes to call Silver Harbour: 604 980 2474 and provide your contact details, so we can register you to receive invitations to book rides from one of our pickup points. We are starting a transportation program to provide rides from passengers’ residences to our pickup points.
Volunteer Pilots and Drivers Needed
We are actively looking for volunteers, including pilots and drivers for spring and summer 2023. If you are interested, please don’t hesitate to contact us by email.
