There is something about riding a bike that makes you feel like a kid again. The new documentary Cycling Without Age explores how pedal power can rekindle this childlike wonder after we lose our ability to ride. Fresh of it’s U.S. Premiere at the Oscar-Qualifying Indy Shorts International Film Festival, Vancouver Cycling Without Age Society is pleased to host a community screening of this award-winning documentary at The Beaumont Studios! This event is open to all ages. Tickets are by donation. Please consider donating ahead of time by visiting our donation page. We will also accept cash donations at the door.

Cycling Without Age is a film about the power of feeling the wind in your hair, no matter where you are on life’s journey. It follows the story of John, a retired teacher, and his merry group of volunteers as they use pedal-powered trishaws to give rides to those who have lost the ability to pedal themselves. Through the intimate moments of these rides, the film shows how shared outdoor experience can build connections: between a pilot and passenger, the past and present. Cycling Without Age presents a unique portrait of aging, asking the audience to consider the importance of the outdoors for those who are all too often trapped inside.

Join us for an inspiring afternoon where we will be showcasing this heartwarming documentary about the transformative power of cycling for seniors (with a run time of 27 minutes), followed by a short panel discussion and Q&A with volunteers, passengers and partners of CWA here in Vancouver. A concession and bar will be open with refreshments for purchase. The facility is fully accessible.
