23 October 2020 - Cycling without Age
Dear everyone,
A recent email sent my thoughts back to when we took such enjoyable events as the Friday coffee mornings in the Mission Hall very much for granted. Keith Johnson contacted me to mention the Cycling without Age charity, which he had previewed at a Friday coffee morning back when things were normal. I can’t say exactly when that was, not because of my failing memory but because this was one of the very few occasions that I couldn’t attend. I can remember not being there but not when it took place! The charity started in Denmark – where they know a thing or two about cycling - with the purpose of enabling people with reduced mobility to engage with their community and environment through the pleasure of taking a bike ride. It is now well established in Weymouth, where a purpose-built trishaw takes up to two passengers on a bike ride, piloted by a cyclist who steers a slow enjoyable ride around Weymouth, along the Esplanade or up the Rodwell trail. And worry not about the pilot, for the trike is electrically assisted. If you have trouble getting about, or know someone who does, Keith says you can text, phone or email the Charity on 07555 416 399 or at
Best regards and stay safe
Chris
