Bike Rides for Seniors

10 Redstone Pl NE, Calgary, AB, T3N 0S7 [map]

1 hour / weekly

Bike rides only in April to October

We’re looking for compassionate volunteers to take older adults out for relaxing rides on our trishaw bike. Many seniors can no longer cycle themselves, but with your help, they can once again enjoy fresh air, conversation, and the joy of being outdoors.

As a volunteer pilot, you will:
• Ride seniors safely around local pathways and parks
• Share stories and companionship
• Help reduce isolation and bring smiles to someone’s day

No special experience is required — training will be provided. Flexible scheduling available.
If you’re friendly, dependable, and enjoy helping others, we’d love to hear from you!
