We are looking for volunteers to re-ignite our local trishaw rides for the elderly in Merstham. We are affiliated with Cycling without Age, an international organisation dedicated to bringing the freedom of open-air rides and the feeling of wind-in-the-hair to the elderly. Our electric powered three wheeler trishaw is easy to ride and has a double seat in front. Sadly it hasn't been used for a couple of years and needs a bit of care and attention. 

We have liaised with the local branch of Age Concern in Merstham in the past. We plan to start the weekly rides in the Spring.

What skills do I need?

  • Basic road sense and cycling ability
  • Moderate level of fitness
  • Bicycle maintenance knowledge desirable
