How do you transform a senior’s world with the turn of a bike pedal? Ryan Foster shares his journey of launching Cycling Without Age in Brisbane. This international movement started in Denmark and now spans 46 countries, offering free trishaw rides to seniors and those with limited mobility. Ryan reveals the challenges of navigating floods and the pandemic to keep the wheels turning and the laughter flowing.

Each ride isn’t just about fresh air. It’s about connection. Imagine a 92-year-old feeling the wind on their face after decades off a bike or rediscovering forgotten neighbourhoods. With specialised trishaws, volunteers, and community support, the Brisbane chapter proves that no matter the obstacle, the power of human connection always finds a way.

Ryan also shares the “how” of it all. From sourcing grants to training volunteers, he gives practical tips for starting a chapter in your area. If you’ve ever felt the itch to make a difference or wondered how to combat social isolation for seniors, this episode is for you.
