FREE trishaw rides will be available in Rockingham this month.

The program encourages aging in a positive context, using cycling as a means to bridge generations.

Cycling Without Age is already established in Australia, with chapters in NSW, Tasmania, South Australia and Victoria.

With help from several local businesses and community groups, Cycling Without Age will get rolling at the Autumn Centre at 10am on October 25.

Community groups have helped raise $21,000 for a trishaw and the aim is to have two trishaws in Rockingham.

Rides will also be offered at the City of Rockingham foreshore celebrations on October 26 and 27.

Anyone who would like to volunteer as a cyclist should contact Cycling Without Age — Rockingham on Facebook.
