Pedaling with purpose: Trishaw rides offer recreation option for seniors, disabled

That fact is not lost on Alisa Peck. Eager for relief from Friday’s high temperatures, Peck joined three other clients from Aptiv—a local service agency for those with disabilities—to venture out to Palmer Park on the promise of a trishaw ride along the city’s paved bike paths. After biding her time as the day’s final rider, Peck’s patience was richly rewarded. “Ohhhh . I like this,” she said, smiling wide as she and “pilot” Cathy Blackburn slowly rolled out. Dubbed Cycling Without Age, the trishaw program is a collaborative effort between the Rock County Council on Aging (RCCA), which owns two of the $12,000 imported bikes, and the city of Janesville. Each Friday through Aug. 27, rides are provided free for seniors ages 55 and older and adults older than 18 who are otherwise unable to ride a bicycle.

Age 55 and up? Take a Wednesday walk

One never knows where a Wednesday walk might lead. One could encounter Oopsie, the tiniest owl in Wisconsin, or bats. Walkers could learn to perfect their golf swing or find their way out of a corn maze. Clever guides such as Rock County Parks Department Parks Foreman Jim Hessenaur, retired Milton High School science teacher David Bendlin and Rich Fletcher of Roam Around Tours will have plenty of stories about all the adventures. “They guide all these walks for free. This year, I have 21 walks, and half of them are with those guys, and they are the reason why people show up,” Mobility Manager for Rock County Council on Aging Jennifer McIlhone said.
