===Social aspects=== In 2012 [[Ole Kassow (social entrepreneur)|Ole Kassow]], a resident of [[Copenhagen (Denmark)|Copenhagen]], wanted to help the elderly get back on their bicycles, but he had to find a solution to their limited mobility. The answer was a cycle rickshaw, and he started offering free cycle rickshaw rides to residents of a nearby [[Nursing home care|nursing home]]. He then got in touch with a civil society consultant at the City of Copenhagen, Dorthe Pedersen, who was intrigued by the idea, and together they bought five cycle rickshaws and launched an organisation called [[Cycling Without Age]], which has now spread to all corners of Denmark, and since 2015 to another 50 countries around the world.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cyclingwithoutage.org/about/|title=About - Cycling Without Age|website=Cyclingwithoutage.org|access-date=1 September 2020}}</ref>
