The Big Red Bike Project (Trishaw)
A volunteer run charitable organisation that takes older adults in particular but not exclusively, on short rides in a two seater electric bicycle called a Trishaw, piloted by trained volunteer cyclists.
Local residents of care homes and any users of disability organisations in the Lichfield area are able to call or email to book a ride for family, friends and members of the community. Carers and family members are able to join the ride too and the route where possible can be determined by the passengers.
This service will help to improve the quality of participants’ lives and have a beneficial effect on the health of those people with limited mobility and who are also experiencing feelings of loneliness and isolation. It will provide opportunities for people of all ages in the area to volunteer and then connect with people within their communities. The cycle ride experience is focused on kindness, a slow, gentle ride, conversation, building trust through relationships, the benefits of fresh air and having fun.
