We dream of creating a world together in which the access to active connection creates happiness among aging adults and those with mobility or intellectual disabilities by providing them an opportunity to remain a valued part of society and the local community.
We do that by giving them the right to wind in their hair, the right to experience the city and nature close up from a bicycle's vantage point, the chance to connect with others around them and the opportunity to tell their story.
In this way, we can build bridges between generations and we reinforce emotional connection, as well as trust, respect, and strengthen social glue in our community.

Our Dream
Our 501(c)(3) Littleton chapter consists of dedicated volunteers who enjoy connecting with others while giving them the opportunity to feel wind in their hair at NO COST.
We offer daily rides down the Platte River Trail and at older adult facilities throughout the larger Denver metro area with the simple goal to enrich each passenger’s life, one trishaw ride at a time.

"Cycling Without Age is a movement started in 2012 by Ole Kassow. Ole wanted to help the elders get back on their bicycles, but he had to find a solution to their limited mobility. The answer was a trishaw and he started offering free bike rides to the local nursing home residents.
He then got in touch with a civil society consultant from the City of Copenhagen, Dorthe Pedersen, who was intrigued by the idea and together they bought five trishaws and launched Cycling Without Age, which has now spread to all corners of Denmark, and since 2015 to another 50 countries around the world." -www.cyclingwithoutage.org
Gary Harty started CWA Lakewood and Barb Lotze became a volunteer for that chapter and raised 10,000.00 to purchase a trishaw for Littleton. Working with Bill Nagel and Phil Cernanec, CWA Littleton began in 2019 and in June of 2020 officially became a 501 (c)(3) non-profit.
