| 12:00-13:00 | Cycling Without Age |
| Natalie Chirchietti & Caroline Kuhl - Cycling Without Age |
Cycling without age is committed to the participation of people with limited mobility in social life and against the loneliness and social isolation of older people. The initiative Radeln ohne Alter is convinced that life can and should be full of joy even in old age and therefore undertakes voluntary rickshaw rides with senior citizens who live at home or in senior citizen and care facilities. Across Germany, there are now over 130 Radeln ohne Alter locations. Since 2019, the umbrella organization Radeln ohne Alter Deutschland e.V. has been supporting interested individuals, municipalities, senior citizen facilities or associations to establish their own Radeln ohne Alter location. You don't need a ready-made plan for this. Not everyone has to reinvent the wheel. For this a Radeln without age hand tool was provided. They have interest and would like to experience more to the initiative? You can find more information at www.radelnohnealter.de or info@radelnohnealter.de. |

Natalie Chirchietti & Caroline Kuhl - Cycling Without Age
Natalie Chirchietti and Caroline Kuhl, founder of Cycling Without Age Germany, and speaker at EUROBIKE 2023 in Frankfurt believe that it is time to take action and to look for solutions, which invite everybody - regardless of age and mobility constraints. As part of a worldwide movement, they work locally on the ground to improve the quality of life of hundreds. Their work builds bridges between generations and reinforces trust, respect and the social glue of the society. The cycle pilots take local elders and care homes residents out on ‘trishaw’ cycle rides to feel the wind in their hair. Those simple rides enable people to experience the city and nature close-up from the bicycle, to regain social connection and for people to tell their story in the environment where they have lived their lives.
