新加坡第一支乐龄单车队——「乐龄单车家族」于上个月28日正式成立。单车队除了鼓励老、青、少年多做运动之外，也借此机会让多年隔膜的祖孙与父子情打破家庭代沟，一起骑着铁马迎向 “绿色之路”！
为了拉近「乐龄单车家族」与居民的关系，傳神居家照顾协会特别安排了开放日，吸引来宾、家长等公众人士积极参与一系列精彩活动，其中包括单车展览、试骑新单车、单车特技表演与南洋女中策划的艺术走廊与手工制作区，参观者异常踊跃，场面十分热闹。
这个开放日给于居民咨询与交流的机会，同时也鼓励年长者勇敢追求快乐，加入车队走向活跃人生。傳神居家照顾协会黄美云主席在献词中也强调：“傳神也希望透过骑单车活动鼓励更多青年把精力用在正确的地方，培养出健康的兴趣，不要误入歧途。我们重视当下年轻人的身体健康，也在乎他们的心理健康。希望透过这样健康的活动，我们的孩子们可以拥有强健的体魄和意志、关怀亲人，也珍惜自己。”
居民们在欣赏艺术走廊后，获得最佳的视觉享受，他们也在学生们的协助下亲自学习手工制作，有些是第一次动手做手工的年长者；有的则是一家大小围在桌旁设计手工品，各自谱出不一样的和谐之曲，气氛温馨感人。
On Saturday - 28 November 2009, Concern & Care Society (CCS) witnessed the launch of its first ever team of elderly cyclists who call themselves “Cycling Club Superstar”.
This is an initiative to promote bonding and active lifestyle between the older generation and their family members.
A fun-filled day was organised to encourage more residents, young and old to join the cycling club. Residents were invited to test ride 2010 bikes. There were bike trial demo and displays of different types of bikes.
The open house gave residents the opportunity to ask questions about the cycling club and educate them about their health and lifestyle. But the club is not just for the older folks.
President of CCS, Madam Margaret Wee Bee Hoon, BBM said, “The young should also not miss the opportunity to participate in a fun activity such as this (cycling). We believe the athletic child is less likely to get involved with crime and by participating in cycling, the young learn to achieve goal and the pursuit of excellence.”
Residents and visitors to the Open House were also treated to a visual art gallery and workshop, thanks to the students of Nanyang Girls’ High School who contributed their creative art pieces.
