This November, the 2025 Global Ageing Network Summit and LeadingAge Annual Meeting will host a special cinematic experience that shares how to age with purpose, joy, and adventure. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience Cycling Without Age—a documentary that beautifully captures the spirit of lifelong exploration and connection.

A Story of Freedom, Connection, and the Power of Community

At its core, Cycling Without Age is a heartwarming testament to the richness of life at every stage. The film follows an inspiring global movement that pairs older adults with volunteer “pilots” who take them on bicycle rides through their communities. More than just a mode of transportation, these journeys become moments of rediscovery—rekindling a sense of freedom, nostalgia, and belonging.

Through breathtaking visuals and deeply personal stories, the film celebrates the resilience, joy, and wisdom of its participants. It challenges outdated perceptions of aging, replacing them with a vibrant narrative where every stage of life holds opportunities for adventure, friendship, and purpose.

Beyond the touching personal journeys, the Cycling Without Age initiative serves as a powerful model for community-driven innovation in ageing. By offering older adults the chance to engage with the world in a dynamic and meaningful way, the program fosters independence, combats social isolation, and strengthens intergenerational bonds.

The film also sparks important conversations about how we, as a society, can reimagine aging. It highlights the profound impact of mobility, inclusion, and social connection—proving that simple acts of kindness, like a bike ride, can transform lives.
