What People Are Saying About Us
Pauline & John - Sorrento
I would spend a week of every school holidays at my Nonna’s after her husband of 55 years (Nonno) passed away. Even at age 12 I seemed to comprehend the loneliness that can come with loss.
So, along with morning stretches, hours in the veggie garden, cooking, playing cards, and walking to Karrinyup shops every afternoon, Nonna would drive us in her lime green Torana to the beach to meet other family members for a picnic.
I can’t recall the last time we were able to sit and watch the ocean together so today was pretty special, filled with lots of stories (many that we heard more than once)
Thank you Cycling Without Age Sorrento for the ultimate JOY-ride! Denise you’re an absolute legend.

Thank you for including us in your weekly Moving Food Program, in which Simone and Linda deliver to refugees and asylum seeker families. In the case of asylum seekers, they have no resources at all and are often large families with great needs.
With regards to your Trishaw program – you have the best section of coast to ferry the most deserving along.

My mother doesn’t smile much these days, but she does when on one of your rides. It is lovely to see.
Mandy
We had a wonderful joy ride on a perfectly clear Perth winters day. We could see to Rottnest and all along our beautiful coast. A late ‘Happy Birthday’ gift to Jane. Thank you ‘Motion by the Ocean’ for making it so memorable.
John
I booked a coastal ride for my mum and son to enjoy together on Mother’s Day morning. Our whole family had a great morning down by the sea…. We went for coffee and a stroll whilst they rode. We cheered them along when we crossed paths on their way back to Sorrento. It was “a perfect morning” according to my mum and my non verbal sons reluctance to want to get off at the end was a great indication that he loved it too. Biggest thanks to rider volunteer Maria for her kindness and for allowing my daughter to jump onboard for a quick spin with her brother. It was very special for them both. Thank so much to everyone involved. Your big hearts are making a big difference.
Nicole
What a fantastic group of people. We took a group of 9 seniors to Hillarys for a ride and they absolutely loved it and have asked to return. Peter and Dan were AMAZING!! Seriously cannot recommend highly enough. THANK YOU.
Michelle
Amana Living’s Kites program provides seniors in Perth with enriching social outings, helping older people stay connected with their community. Our clients enjoy the Trishaw rides with Motion by the Ocean Inc, loving the freedom, fresh air, and the opportunity to reminisce about the days when they would ride to work or school. It might seem like a simple bike ride, but it brings great joy to the people we support.
Jenny
The wonderful Dan took my Aunty, my pooch, and myself for an amazing ride in the sun a few months ago. The sun was shining, we were smiling. Our rider, Dan, was chirping and we loved every minute of our ride with Motion By The Ocean. Thank you for an unforgettable day.
Colleen
My Mum had the best morning! She felt like the Queen! Thanks to Denise for riding us to Trigg and back. My Mum has just recovered from clots in her leg and has been stuck at home for weeks. This ride has made her able to get out, have some fun again and feel a million dollars! Thank you.
Christine
This is a fantastic service for seniors and impaired people in our community a lot of fit people volunteer to pedal the trishaws along the coast. This means that many people who would normally be housebound or held in a nursing home etc can get out and enjoy the excellent views of our wonderful coastline. In my book they are all HEROES.

We love our bike rides by our beautiful coast . The bikes are wonderful, allowing you to feel the wind in your hair and say Hi to passing people. Everyone is so friendly. We stop and enjoy the ocean and even get treated to a cup of coffee from White Salt or Canteen in Trigg! it is such a fabulous initiative… a simple idea that spreads so much happiness. This service is for anyone who can’t ride a bike themselves and it’s FREE! We can’t recommend it enough!

Thank you to everyone at Motion by the Ocean for a great day out! Everyone made the experience so easy and enjoyable and our clients had the best time and we can’t wait to come back and enjoy our next trishaw ride.

“Oh, that was fun. I am windblown! When am I allowed to go out again?”
Mary — Parkside Opal, Carine
“Thank you for riding mum on your trishaw (for the MS Coastal Ride). Without this service, we wouldn’t be able to ride together as a complete family.”
