Pedal power provides a push for senior citizens in Copenhagen

AdministratorApril 21, 2013

A 'social innovator' named Ole Kassow is on a mission to get the elderly in Copenhagen back on their bikes. Cycling is said to have a positive effect on illnesses such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. As an incentive, Ole and fellow volunteers are taking pensioners on trips in bicycle rickshaws to encourage them to get on two wheels. From Copenhagen, Malcolm Brabant reports.
