Cycling Without Age

After an industrious 5 years we have purchased a TRISHAW that will enable more Castlemaine residents to enjoy cycling!

The Trishaw was purchased by The Hub Foundation to support the Cycling Without Age - Castlemaine Chapter.

Cycling Without Age is a not-for-profit charity that provides a community service by connecting elderly people and those less-abled with their community and the outdoors by giving them free rides on trishaw ebikes, piloted by volunteer cyclists.

Castlemaine Tri-shaw hits Castlemaine Pride

April 29. 2023

Well, today we took the trishaw to Castlemaine Pride. We had a bit of an issue with charging it up, but we did take a few people for rides, and a lovely afternoon in the sun ensued.

Castlemaine Tri-shaw has finally launched!

April 6 2023

We had a wonderful, joyful and whimsical launch of our new trishaw last Saturday at Victory Park as part of the Castlemaine State Festival.  Thanks so much to Thompson's Foundry band and all who came along to mark this long await occasion.
 
Enjoy our photos of the launch and stay tuned for what's next!

Here are a couple of happy passengers on the Campbell's Creek trail.The Shire's grant was part of the second round of the 2023 Community Grants Program. Cycling Without Age Castlemaine's volunteers are pleased to be able to work with Mount Alexander Shire Council to provide outdoor recreation opportunities for Dhelkaya Health's Aged Care residents. ...
