Cycling Without Age Australia Incorporated is:

• A registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC)

• Endorsed as a Public Benevolent Institution (PBI)

• Governed by a national management committee

• Committed to safe, sustainable and compliant chapter growth

As a governed chapter, Cycling Without Age – Redlands Coast operates under this national framework.

This provides:

• Appropriate governance and oversight

• Insurance pathways

• Volunteer safeguarding

• Financial transparency

• Asset protection

It also ensures that all chapters operate in alignment with the core principles and safety standards of the global movement.

Cycling Without Age – Redlands Coast was established by a group of passionate local volunteers who recognised the need to reduce loneliness and increase connection within our own community. We are entirely volunteer-run.

Our local leadership team includes:

• Chair

• Secretary

• Treasurer

Along with volunteer pilots, ride assistants, safety coordinators, grant writers and community supporters. Our chapter is built on generosity, collaboration and community spirit.

• Reduce social isolation

• Strengthen intergenerational connection

• Promote dignity and inclusion

• Improve wellbeing through outdoor engagement

We believe everyone has the right to joy, conversation and community — regardless of age or mobility.

All rides are:

• Free of charge

• Volunteer-operated

• Conducted on pre-assessed routes

• Focused on safety and connection

Our trishaws are electric-assisted, purpose-built passenger bikes designed for comfort and stability.

Volunteers undergo:

• Screening

• Police checks

• Induction and training

• Ongoing safety guidance

Safety is always our highest priority.

Cycling Without Age is guided by five core principles:

• Generosity

• Slowness

• Storytelling

• Relationships

• Dignity

These principles shape every ride.

As a new chapter, we are in the early stages of building our fleet, volunteer base and community partnerships.

We are actively working to expand our capacity, including securing funding for additional trishaws and wheelchair-accessible options in the future.

With the support of our Redlands Coast community, we look forward to providing more rides for more people in more places.
