We begin the journey, and the story of Cycling Without Age, in Ireland: the first trishaw arrived in Blackrock, Dublin in March 2017. Since then, we have been demonstrating it to care homes, local authorities, and sponsors and spreading the word, with great response. Clara continues as a volunteer, with no paid staff, to promote and explain the CWA concept until people take up this brilliant initiative.
Social Entrepreneurs Ireland supports social entrepreneurs through their Academy for Social Entrepreneurs and Awards Programme, which provides direct support to high-potential emerging social entrepreneurs. CWA Dublin are delighted to have received one of three awards for the Academy 2017 programme.

Starting a chapter in your local community
If you would like to start a chapter of Cycling Without Age in your city or area, we would be delighted to help you get started.
Getting started with a Cycling Without Age chapter is an amazing experience. Nothing beats witnessing the joy of the older or mobility-impaired people, the pilots and personnel interact on and around the trishaw and seeing the smiles of passengers coming back from their first ride with the wind in their hair, rosy cheeks and full of stories. We love to experience the movement of Cycling Without Age spreading all over the world and always welcome more to join.
We have launched an affiliate model for communities, nursing homes and cities worldwide to become part of the movement. Proceed to the affiliate page or if you have any questions, write us an email. We already have a wealth of experience in working with nursing home staff and management, city councils, other volunteer organisations, cyclists federations as well as great ideas of how to get the initiative off the ground and locals excited about it.
