from Amsterdam to Volendam

Near Amsterdam on the Oost terrein a trio appeared on bike. The person “driving” the bike is giving two people who are disabled a fun ride on the path!

Lyle McLeodThis is probably “Cycling Without Age’, an organization that started in Copenhagen. We have a few of these in Canmore and Kirsten is a ‘pilot’. She usually does 2-3 rides a week from two seniors homes and the long term care at our hospital. Such a great program! CWA had their worldwide annual meeting in Canmore several years ago and we hosted the fellow who started the whole thing. Great time was had by all (and much wine consumed too!) Just showed the picture to K and she confirms, it’s one of their trikes.

Karen PoretTo Lyle McLeodThank you! I couldn’t recall the name if this wonderful idea that works!

One of the guides remarked that her father used it… the aha moment was when he had not said a word on any rides, until.. they swiped by a post, (which was felt), and he yelled “ g . d. post” 😂
He obviously still “ had it”! 😉
