A cycling program in the eastern Ontario town is providing seniors and people with disabilities the chance to be transported around the town on a unique vehicle known as a "triobike."Posted: Sep 24, 2023 4:00 AM EDT | Last Updated: 12 minutes ago
The triobike is a three-wheeled vehicle with a bench that can seat up to two passengers. It's pushed and steered by a rider on an electric bicycle. "The most unfortunate thing was that this all happened before the pandemic and then the pandemic came. So we're just kind of coming out of that and really getting going now," Mills said.
"If you ever want to feel like a celebrity, all you have to do is come and sit in this bike and drive around town. Because everyone knows it, everyone waves," said Courtney. An avid cyclist herself, Courtney said she loves being able to share that experience with passengers. It's a chance for residents to spend time outside, go for a quick ride and see parts of Almonte they might not have seen for a while, she added.
