Lodged by Michael Matheson Members' Business Motion 19 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the work that the charity, Cycling Without Age Scotland, headquartered in Larbert, does to enhance and enrich lives through giving people of all ages, but predominantly older people, who have mobility issues or are disabled, or are living in isolation or loneliness, access to the outdoors through e-bike trishaw rides; notes that Cycling Without Age Scotland has branches, known as chapters, in urban and rural areas throughout Scotland, each with its own identity that is grassroots based, and that the charity works with individuals and private, public and third sector organisations to help deliver trishaw rides to support people managing limited mobility, loneliness or isolation; celebrates the volunteers who support Cycling Without Age Scotland, including the chapter captains, mechanics, administrators and trainers, who all enable the volunteer trishaw riders, known as pilots, to take people on e-bike trishaw rides in their local community, and acknowledges the great support that Cycling Without Age Scotland receives both in donations and hours of volunteering.
