III. COMMUNITY NOTE

Some folks have organized A2 Joy Rides, a local chapter of Cycling Without Age (CWA), and we're happy to share a community event they're hosting next week.

Details:

• Bike Trivia
• Screening of award-winning Cycling Without Age: The Movie
• Tuesday, 11/11/2025, 7 PM
• Bløm Meadworks (100 S 4th Ave)

Cycling Without Age is a movement originating in Denmark that gives older adults and people with limited mobility the opportunity to experience the freedom, connection and simple joy of cycling -- with the help of volunteer “pilots” who pedal specialty designed trishaws.

Ann Arbor Joy Rides are working to fund and deploy a trishaw toward beginning rides in 2026.

Check it.
