What a beautiful day! Took these lovely ladies for a lovely ride along the river and for ice cream. Our newest pilot Sandra did amazing! Congrats and welcome to the team! ❤️ A huge thank you to all our sponsors. @happycowicecreaminc
Thank you @bluesprucelandscapes.ca for helping us today! Our shed is nice and cozy in it’s new resting place beside the Knox United Church. This will allow our Pilots a more central location to depart from and a less bumpy ride to head out pick up our amazing Seniors! #localbusinessessupportcommunities #wearesoloved #therighttothewindinyourhair
What is it?
- A non-profit international volunteer organization that takes elderly and less abled citizens out for free bike rides in specialized bikes called trishaws
- Established in 2012 in Denmark and now represented worldwide in 50 countries
- There are almost 50 chapters in Canada alone!
Fernie
- Launch of program in 2019 was followed by a Covid shutdown
- We now have pilots trained and have implemented covid protocols which allow us to ride!
- Two Trishaws are in Fernie ready to be taken out
- We are booking rides right now!
We need people just like you to keep this initiative moving. We are looking for capable people to peddle our clients around and let them feel the wind in their hair again. You don’t have to be a high performance athlete with our electric trishaws, but you do need to be ready to have fun with all kinds of people.
Let’s go for a ride! If you’re finding it tricky to get outside in the Fernie area, contact us! You are able to go alone, or bring a friend or care-giver along. We want to hear from you and take you for a ride!
