VENTURA, Calif., March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Residents at Cypress Place Senior Living are enjoying Ventura in a new way thanks to a partnership with local nonprofit Cycling Without Age Ventura, which now offers residents free weekly rides on specially designed trishaw bicycles.
The rides allow seniors to sit comfortably in a front passenger seat while a trained volunteer pilot cycles from behind, giving residents the opportunity to safely explore local neighborhoods, enjoy fresh air and reconnect with their community.
The partnership was introduced by Cypress Place Senior Living Sales Director Ashley Magtalas, who discovered the organization through community networking and helped bring the program to the senior living community. Cycling Without Age Ventura volunteers now visit Cypress Place every Tuesday to take residents on rides.
Residents Marilynn Viles and Marlene Lowe, both longtime Ventura County residents, recently took a ride together and said they loved discovering a nearby area they had never seen before.
"This program perfectly reflects our mission to create extraordinary experiences for our residents," said Gina Rozaner, Executive Director of Cypress Place Senior Living. "It's wonderful to see residents enjoying the breeze, the scenery and the simple joy of being out in the community."
The program recently received coverage from Spectrum News, which highlighted the partnership with Cypress Place Senior Living and the positive impact the rides have on reducing social isolation among seniors in Ventura County. According to the American Medical Association, about one in four adults age 65 and older experiences social isolation, which is associated with increased risks of serious health issues. The story also featured Cypress Place Senior Living residents enjoying their time exploring Ventura from the trishaw. The full story can be viewed here.
Cycling Without Age is a global nonprofit movement that began in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2012 with a mission to give older adults "the right to wind in their hair." Today, the initiative includes more than 3,000 chapters worldwide, pairing volunteer cyclists with seniors and individuals with limited mobility for rides that promote connection, conversation and time outdoors. The Ventura chapter continues that tradition locally, offering rides throughout Ventura and Ojai.
