Cycling Without Age Around Lake Forbes: Cycling Without Age held an in-formation morning at Forbes Lions Park on Sunday morning. A number of Rotary members attended and are very excited to get this new transport service to Forbes. Cycling Without Age provides an activity for people who have mobility problems to enjoy fresh air and have an outing. The trishaw is piloted by a trained rider and from all reports, the experience was very enjoyable for all!

 

CYCLING WITHOUT AGE: Forbes Rotary has been instrumental in arranging trishaw’s for elderly and less mobile residents so they can remain social and fit.
