Do you enjoy cycling and would you like to chat about safe cycling?

Who are we?

Doortrappen Apeldoorn is committed to ensuring that the elderly continue to cycle safely for as long as possible. Because cycling helps you stay healthy, social and self-reliant for longer. Fortunately, many elderly people like to cycle and want to continue cycling, but they are also vulnerable in traffic. We motivate elderly people to take measures themselves to continue cycling safely.

Activities

In Apeldoorn we started in 2021 from a working group. What we do is to discuss safe cycling in an accessible way in places where elderly people go, such as on the market, at the Senior Fair, at meeting centers and more. We are looking for a resident who enjoys talking to the elderly in these places about 4 to 8 times a year. You always do this together with other volunteers and/or one of the coordinators.

We ask

We ask for your commitment and a motivating attitude to discuss safe cycling with the elderly.

We offer

We already have an active, involved working group. With many ideas! A nice group to work in with knowledge from the Senior Platform, Cyclists' Union, Sportservice Apeldoorn (Accres) and Stimenz. And don't forget the knowledge from Doortrappen's national network.

Time commitment

We estimate the times when the activities take place at approximately 4 to 8 half-days per year. Furthermore, you do not have to worry about there being many consultation moments. The working group will tackle that part. Volunteer work is truly executive.
