Nursing home residents across the country could soon be able to enjoy bike rides on a trishaw.
The Cycling Without Age Initiative aims to encourage companies to sponsor the bikes for their local home.
Pilots then sign up to give free rides to the elderly, who sit in a seat at the front of the bike.
All aboard!

Ernie and Phyllis also told us why they love the trishaw:
