We give rides to older people and those with mobility and other special needs in Dorchester. Our rides are comfortable, fun and free. If you have an older friend or family member who could do with a little break in their day, who would love to go out of the house, contact us to book a free ride for them.
“The residents really do love getting out and about with your team and it’s lovely to hear their stories when they get back.”
Cycling Without Age Dorchester is a satellite chapter of CWA Weymouth and was launched when we took delivery of our first trishaw in 2022.
We now have two trishaws (Badger and Lottie) and offer rides to residents in care homes, retirement and sheltered housing, and to education special needs providers across Dorchester, including Salisbury Fields, the River Frome, Poundbury and Maiden Castle. We are able to do rides most days of the week, thanks to a great group of volunteers, who have built connections with local care homes and with other individuals who enjoy seeing their home town from a new perspective.
All of our pilots are fully trained and are checked through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). If you are keen to get involved either with the running of the charity or as a pilot, please get in touch with us.
If your company or business is interested in sponsoring a bike or advertising, please get in contact as shown above. We welcome all contributions to keep this service going for many years.
This is how our clients can see and hear how we combine music-making, physical exercise and having fun
