The nonprofit initiative “Radeln ohne Alter” (Cycling Without Age) organizes bike rickshaw outings for older and younger people with physical limitations in various German states. Every rickshaw ride is a little adventure for the seniors and the drivers, during which they create shared memories and exchange life stories. It’s an enriching experience for both sides—and sometimes turns strangers into friends. It builds bridges between generations, brings back memories, sparks shared laughter, and strengthens neighborhoods.

The anouvis e.V. Association

Due to age, illness, or other circumstances, many people are often unable (any longer) to ride a bicycle on their own and independently. The registered nonprofit organization anouvis e.V. provides the framework for volunteer work in Hanover. anouvis e.V. aims to support nursing homes and senior living facilities, as well as reach out to individuals.

If you’d like to give the gift of your time, become a pilot with Radeln ohne Alter Hannover. Here, you’ll meet nice people, become part of the RoA community, and—for free—do something to improve your own fitness! Before you set out on a “real tour,” you’ll receive training from the “Radfahrschule Hannover.” In two training sessions, you’ll practice riding the rickshaw and gain the necessary riding confidence and skills.

Anyone who would like to join the initiative—whether as an individual or on behalf of their organization—is welcome to contact us at radelnohnealter@anouvis.de.
