The document discusses three initiatives for engaging people in cycling: Cycling Without Age, which involves volunteers taking elderly residents on trishaw rides; Bike Kitchen, a community bike workshop that hosts events; and Bike Parades, protests or celebrations that raise awareness. Cycling Without Age started in 2012 and is now in 40 countries, Bike Kitchen offers bike repairs, food and culture, and Critical Mass Bratislava has occurred monthly since 2010 to advocate for cycling in the city. The initiatives attract new cyclists, teach bike maintenance, and help create communities around cycling.
