My name is Alan and I recently volunteered for the “chat-e-cycle“ to pilot the side by side electric assisted tricycle to take people with limited mobility to the shops/appointments or just a ride.
The side by side setup encourages a good old chat. The “co-pilot “can also pedal to assist or not, as they please.
I was not sure what it would be like at first but my own love of cycling and knowing the benefits it brings me soon won over any anxieties I had. I need not have worried, the enthusiasm and enjoyment shown by the people I have ridden with has given me enormous satisfaction and I am humbled by the trust they place in me for what is sometimes a big step forward for them.
Chat-e-cycling is an uplifting experience for both parties and its Quirky design attracts lots of waves and smiles. If you like cycling, chatting and are thinking about volunteering, get in touch, you won’t be disappointed.
Thank you Alan! We couldn't do it without you.
