About Cycling Without Age
Who we are
As an official affiliate of Cycling Without Age, EAB aims to help reach and improve the lives of elderly people making nursing homes a place of joy and continued mobility. We believe that life can and should be beautiful even if you’re close to a hundred years.
What drives us
We take elderly people out for a bicycle ride - through the city, to the water and the countryside. We break them free from social isolation. Make them smile. Bring back their memories. And let them be part of society again and thereby renew their appetite for life itself. We give them the right to wind in their hair.
But it’s not only about the elderly people. It’s also about the volunteers. The pilots. Cycling Without Age is probably less about volunteering in the traditional sense of the word - and more about active citizenship. Citizenship driven by a desire to get involved and to make a real difference for someone. It’s about creating relationships between people.
