How many times do we hear "that virus is just killing older people" or "at that age what would you expect?" Loneliness is an issue no matter what age. Everyone deserves dignity and happy life at all stages of their lives. We connected with Singapore to talk with Marieke, a Dutch woman that took the typical Dutch cycling culture to Singapore. She did more than that though,  she understood that connecting the generations and getting people to spend time together while going for a bicycle ride, it is simply priceless and can easily give years of life back as she explained. Cycling Without Age is more than just going out for a tour with someone "carrying you". It is about making sure the elderly people understand how much we respect them, how much we can learn with them, and belong to a world that is more and more disconnected. This podcast is dedicated to all people that suffer from loneliness anywhere in this world, as that shouldn't ever happen to anyone.  Let's #TalkItThru Together!   #elderly #socialinclusion #aging #cycling #socialawareness #healthylife #experience #sharing #knwowledge #wisdom #socialresponsibility
