BICLOU, EPISODE 24 - It's a day of celebration for Christian and Christiane.
In front of their retirement home in La Verrière (Yvelines), a big red bicycle awaits them.
Several times a month, volunteers from the “A Vélo Sans Age” association take them for a walk in the forest, using this electric scooter.
"It's calm and then it's greenery"
"It's great, they make us smile again" confides Christian as he rides, quietly seated in the chair of this strange bicycle.
"It's calm and then it's greenery, the good air" adds Christiane, 90 years old.
While the frequency of visits to nursing homes varies according to health conditions, this outing in the open air is particularly popular.

The association "À Vélo Sans Age" was born in Denmark in 2012. Ole Kassow, created it to pay tribute to his father.
“He was in a wheelchair his whole life,” he explains to our camera, pedaling through his hometown of Copenhagen.
“I wanted to do for the elderly, which I couldn't do for my father at the time”.
