Cycling Without Age Marathon County Seeks Volunteers for Free Community Bike Rides
Cycling Without Age Marathon County is actively recruiting volunteers to provide free bike rides to community members using three-wheeled electric bikes, known as trishaws. The nonprofit, which started in 2019, aims to offer these rides to individuals who may not be able to ride a bike independently. The organization currently operates five trishaws in the greater Wausau area. Volunteers, referred to as pilots, are responsible for taking up to two riders at a time through scenic community areas. Training sessions for new pilots are scheduled for May 1 and May 29, from 5-9 p.m. Interested individuals must be at least 18 years old, possess a valid driver’s license, and be capable of pedaling an electric trishaw with passengers. The rides will be available from the first week of June through Labor Day, and can be scheduled through The Landing at the YMCA.
