5 years from our first ride until today! So many miles, so many smiles. Thanks to all
the amazing volunteer Pilots, our wonderful passengers and our fantastic supporters! #5years #cyclingwithoutage

@musslinks one of our pilots was out for a walk and admiring the new path Uber construction at the West end of the Lagoons. Any idea on a timescale for completion? Looks ideal for a new trishaw route!

Lovely windswept but warm ride out to the Harbour today with Jean from Southpark Care home up at the Jewel. The stories you hear on days like this! #cyclingwithoutage #sharingiscaring

[CWA Musselburgh @CWAMusselburgh]

We’re off to the Fancy Dress parade tonight as part of the Honest Toun Festival - give us a wave and a cheer is you see the Trishaws carrying some very special guests. #hiphiphooray

Another beautiful evening on the Fisherrow Riviera for new Pilot training. Great effort by all!

[CWA Musselburgh @CWAMusselburgh]

We braved the heat to start training a meeting batch of pilots today. Great effort all round!

Great afternoon today along at Bellfield Bikefest with @EnergyPorty @SpokesPorty

Thank you @VegInkable for our lovely poster. Bring printed at @ootbdrillhall on Loop paper which is 100% recycled and made using wind power we hear! #CircularEconomy Would you like to display one for us?

Lovely ride around the Grove today, passenger Bob regaled us with takes of his childhood in rural Aberdeenshire.He once travelled from there to Glasgow on the back of his fathers motorbike whilst his mother and brother were in the sidecar.Trishaw was much more sedate he told me!

[CWA Musselburgh @CWAMusselburgh]

What we’re all about. Pilot Susanne took out a young passenger in our wheelchair bike Bobb, whilst Pilot Nic brought his family along for the ride. #cyclingwithoutage

[CWA Musselburgh @CWAMusselburgh]

Been dormant on here for a while but FB is telling us that our first Trishaw arrived on this day 4 years ago! Here’s founder Ewan treating his mum and son to the very first hurl along the Prom. Get in touch if you know someone who would love to feel the wind in their hair.

[CWA Musselburgh @CWAMusselburgh]

@SpokesPorty @SpokesLothian Thanks 🙏

[CWA Musselburgh @CWAMusselburgh]

@SpokesPorty @SpokesLothian can anyone confirm if the Innocent Railway tunnel is still shut? Been invited to an event later in the month and need to get a Trishaw safely up to Bruntsfield…

[CWA Musselburgh @CWAMusselburgh]

Finally able to take rides again, it was an absolute honour to take out Margaret today. She helped run the Tea Bar at the Old Sick Kids in Edinburgh for an astonishing 46 1/2 years! #volunteergoals #cyclingwithoutage

[CWA Musselburgh @CWAMusselburgh]

Our amazing pilot Susanne celebrating her 30th year with the NHS but that would mean she started at 6 years old surely! She’ll be doing a sterling job at @fillieside too I’m sure. Top work!

[Findlay Community Hospital Ward 2 @fillieside]

Our Susanne joined FH team at short notice when COVID suspended her service.She's loving her time here.This day sees her 30 years as an Occupational Therapist! Wowzerz! FUN FACT she combines exercise with a good natter providing trishaw rides with @CWAMussselburgh @EdinburghHSCP

[CWA Musselburgh @CWAMusselburgh]

Been off here for a bit and obviously in lockdown, but today Ewan and Co-Pilot Ted took the trishaws for a wee run out to keep them ticking over. Usual routes a bit busier than normal so they took advantage of quiet roads. #StaySafe #cyclingwithoutage

Yesterday we lost a great man in @BigScottfiBigT a true force of nature who spread laughter and happiness wherever he went either through his infectious sense of humour or the @WalkWithScottFN which bears his name. Walk on pal, walk on.
