No, no, no... I know how "Jeopardy" works with Alex Trebek. What I am asking is how does Ole Kassow and Dorthe Pedersen make Cycling Without Age work?
Oh! , now I see, you're asking a very serious question. My response... They have given the elderly the right to wind in their hair.
Let me further respond by telling you it is most important that volunteers (pilots) sign up for bike rides with the elderly as often or as rarely as they want to. It’s all grassroots and driven by people’s own motivation to volunteer. Both the pilots and the passengers.
At present (February 2018) more than 1,100 chapter locations around the world offer Cycling Without Age from well over 1,500 trishaws – and the numbers are still growing. More than 10,000 pilots ensure that the elderly get out of their nursing homes, out on the bikes to enjoy the fresh air and the community around them.

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. After having heard several stories about the older generation missing the freedom, the joy and the mobility of cycling, Ole asked himself: "How can we get these people back on the bicycles?" Ole decided to show up at his local nursing home with a rented rickshaw. This changed his life - and the lives of the passengers and the volunteers who came across Ole and his project, "Cycling Without Age".Ole Kassow is the founder of “Cycling Without Age”
Cycling Without Age is a grassroots initiative which gives senior citizens the opportunity to get out of nursing homes and experience the city and the nature by rickshaw. Because of Ole Kassow and Dorthe Pedersen, municipalities in several cities across Denmark have now bought rickshaws for their nursing homes and a network of volunteers offer residents the opportunity to venture outside and feel the wind in their hair. This meeting of generations provides a unique opportunity for the elderly to share their stories and experiences, which are often triggered by these trips out into the local environment. This initiative not only strengthens communities across generations, but it contributes to both physical and mental well-being of the elderly and volunteers, thus giving nursing homes and municipalities a golden opportunity to stimulate and promote health and mobility.

What was the perceived dilemma or roadblock facing Ole Kassow when he initially wanted to get the elderly to explore their community outside of the nursing home?
Ole wanted to help the elderly get back on their bicycles, but he had to find a solution to the limited mobility of the elderly and disabled.
What was the solution to limited mobility of the elderly that Ole Kassow experimented with and permitted his success in taking nursing home residents outside to explore their community?
Ole Kassow's answer was a trishaw and he started offering free bike rides to the local nursing home residents.

Who provided experience, knowledge and a success strategy to Ole Kassow to implement a grassroots plan to get the elderly back to riding bikes within their local community?
Dorthe Pederson thus became the Co-Founder and Ole Kassow the Founder of the Cycling Without Age movement in Copenhagen.
"Cycling Without Age" spread to all corners of Denmark, and since 2015 to another 33 countries around the world.
Co-founder Dorthe Pedersen cuts the ribbon at the launch of a new chapter of Cycling Without Age in Australia. What was she thinking?
Dorthe confided “What our passengers tell us they enjoy most isn’t the cycling, it’s the social aspect. It’s about moving slowly, seeing life at street level, interacting with neighbours and using your senses to take in the sights and sounds. The trishaw itself is a conversation starter, too, people want to know what it’s all about.”
