The Best Kind of Bicycling We’ve Ever Heard Of

No matter how old you are, you should be out there feeling the wind in your hair, says this organization.

From the time the training wheels come off, many of us find riding a bike to be one of life’s simple pleasures. But as we age, hopping on the bike may not be as easy as it once was.

Thankfully, there’s an organization that is keeping the joy of cycling alive at every age. Called Cycling Without Age and founded in Copenhagen in 2012, it involves pairing tricycles with seats, elderly individuals, and cyclists so that all may enjoy being outdoors together. Founder Ole Kassow created the program, inspired by his grandfather’s love of cycling and his frustration at not being able to enjoy this pastime when he was older. Kassow began taking nursing-home residents out on a tricycle so they could watch the scenery go by, feel the wind and sun on their face, and perhaps stop for an ice cream or coffee.

NextTribe is a travel and events company for women 45+. We believe that now—at midlife—is our shaken-Etch-A-Sketch moment, when the slate is once again blank. Today, our conversations question which direction we are headed in and how to get there. How to drink it all in and how to give back. We’d like your voices and humor to be heard, your ideas to be shared, and for you to hear ours. This tribe is one of contemplation, inspiration, wit, and action. Though we may have men in our lives, we believe it’s invigorating to touch base at a time like this with people who have the same sagging parts and swinging moods. Now that we have more time for adventure, more experience for new life paths, more wisdom to connect the dots in our histories, and less care about what people think, we’re sure these coming years can be a glorious stretch. Spiritual and irreverent, creative and courageous, this site, these postings, will serve as our cave drawings and warrior paint. Please join us on our walkabout.
