The first Australian Chapter of Cycling Without Age was launched by Danish Ambassador Tom Nørring in Canberra recently.
The Cycling Without Age movement started in 2012 in Copenhagen when young Danish man Ole Kassow wanted to help the elderly get back on their bicycles, and was looking for a solution to their limited mobility. The answer was a trishaw and he started offering free bike rides to the local nursing home residents.
