Cycling Without Age

The psychologist Susan Pinker has found that living solitary lives is the number one impediment to longevity and quality of life. Australian researchers Catherine and Alex Haslam found that people with active social lives recover faster after an illness than those who are solitary, and older people who participate in social gatherings keep their memories longer. Cycling Without Age is a movement that offers a solution to some of the consequences of modern life. We combat loneliness and social isolation by providing a sense of belonging to a community, and we promote a healthier and more active lifestyle through slow cycling, which has an overall positive effect on any city. While cycling together, experiences are shared and friendships are formed, which is helping both the passenger, the cycle pilot and those they meet on the way.For the individual, regular rides mean better sleep, better appetite, fever conflicts and the need for less medication. Cycling Without Age originated in Copenhagen. The co-founder, Ole Kassow offered a ride to a care home resident.
