Bicycles are powerful, but the Cycling Without Age Oxfordshire trishaws take this power to a whole new level. As a trustee for this charity, I have seen first hand the benefit a simple cycle ride can have on the elders within our community - many of whom struggle with social isolation. 

This is why I am riding 100 miles in a day on my single speed bicycle so that we can raise funds for the charity to purchase its next two trishaws. 

If you can chip in a few quid then I will be eternally grateful and if you fancy coming and doing some miles with me then you'll be most welcome. I am doing the ride on Friday 3rd July. 

Here is a fantastic video that shows the true power of these trishaws.

Cycling Without Age Oxfordshire is a local charity that takes older and vulnerable people at risk of social isolation out on bike rides on specially built trishaws. They already have their first bike but are raising funds for another two so that they can help thousands more Oxfordshire residents in the years to come.
