Hamilton AM members were treated on November 19 to an unusual and innovative program called Cycling Without Age. This program, uses “trishaw bikes”, driven by experienced volunteers called “Pilots” to take seniors and the disabled on bike rides in both Hamilton and Burlington. The organization’s Mission is “to bring mobility and joy to elderly and immobile people through the experience of cycling in trishaw bikes” Pictured below is Club President Don Grennan and Nancy Gray and Mike Moulden from Cycling Without Age.
