The Founder
Hello and thank you so much for taking an interest in Chat-e-Cycle!
I am a Physiotherapist by background, and have been working with older people in the NHS for a large part of my recent career.
All too often my patients tell me “don’t get old love!” – and my work has no doubt taught me that older age indeed comes with it’s challenges, from the physical effects of ageing to the loss of driving and social isolation.
Chat-e-Cycle started as a master’s project, but has grown into so much more. I am passionate about seeing how far an accessible cycle ride could go in helping shape the future of healthy ageing and inclusion within our communities.
It’s time for us all to start thinking about creating an accessible future for our families, friends, communities and ultimately ourselves.
Despite being repeatedly advised against it, growing old seems to still be the best option available – so why not make it fun?
