Combatting Senior Loneliness, One Pedal at a Time
eTradeWire News/10809074
What do a rugged 4x4 and a three-wheeled bike for seniors have in common? More than you'd think. Meet the Grenny, the newest ride bringing freedom and joy to Vancouver's seniors.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia - eTradeWire -- Loneliness, isolation, and depression weigh heavily on many seniors, but in Vancouver, a simple act of kindness is helping lift that burden. Thanks to Vancouver Cycling Without Age Society's newest trishaw, Grenny, sponsored by The Weissach Foundation, even more seniors are rediscovering a sense of belonging and the thrill of feeling the wind in their hair again.
For those with aging loved ones, it's a powerful reminder that it only takes one caring gesture to bring sunshine into someone's life. Vancouver Cycling Without Age Society is proving that life after 70 can still be filled with adventure, laughter, and connection.
The Birth of Grenny
It's a cause that deeply resonates with local business owner Asgar Virji, founder of The Weissach Foundation at Weissach INEOS Grenadier. "As someone with aging parents, I understand how easy it is for older adults to feel isolated," he says. "It's heartbreaking to see how loneliness can creep in. No one should feel that. We often think of aging as a time to slow down, but who says we outgrow our sense of fun and adventure? We all deserve moments of joy, no matter our age."

This shared belief in adventure and dignity has sparked a meaningful partnership between VCWAS and The Weissach Foundation. With sponsorship support from Weissach, VCWAS has named its newest trishaw 'Grenny' in honour of the INEOS Grenadier. The addition allows the organization to offer this experience to even more seniors. In fact, last year, volunteers completed 500 rides, taking over 1,000 passengers on a total of 3,500 kilometres of outdoor journeys. This year, Winn says he is hoping those numbers will triple.
But the partnership is about more than numbers. It reflects a deeper alignment in values.
"The INEOS Grenadier is about opening people up to exploration and helping them escape and discover the world," says Winn. "That's exactly how we see our trishaws – just a little slower and maybe not quite as mountain-ready. But the spirit is the same. We're giving seniors the chance to get out into nature with their loved ones and experience the joy of movement and community. Weissach really gets that."
