1月31日清晨，傳神乐龄单车家族的成员们神采飞扬的踏着自信步伐骑往20公里的铁马之途。看着年长者眼神中流露的喜悦，以及脸上洋溢着的年轻时一样的风发意气，我们更加确定“走出孤独就有希望！”能真实地鼓励着长者活得更有充实与自信满满。
自乐龄单车家族成立至今，已有多位老人渐渐摆脱疑惑和不信任，勇敢地踏上铁马往活跃里走去。骑在单车上，年长者不但感觉自己更有活力、更有体力，也因此觉悟拥有健康体魄的重要性。
单车家族的高龄成员一边乘风骑车，一边欣赏郊外风光，心里总觉得万分幸福。反观同龄朋友因膝盖疼痛，或长期坐在轮椅上而无法出外活动，他们心里虽难过，也借此警惕自己要多活动以保持身体机能灵活。
两个小时的骑程，旁人看见一群白发苍苍的年长者不畏惧的骑在单车上，豪气十足的样子，个个不禁啧啧称羡，并竖起拇指对着老人呼喊“你们真的很棒！”加注单车家族的士气。充满朝气的单车队感染着身边的路人，骑程中尽管汗水不停的流，气喘吁吁都遮盖不住愿意付出与勇往直前的精神。
不但如此，成员们很有默契的一个跟一个后头，淋漓地发挥了团队该有的团体精神，注重安全而不讲求速度，才能使整个过程流畅而不费力。完成了这个月的壮举后，单车家族成员都带着满满的成就感回家去，同时他们心里也坚信，唯有“动”人生才有希望。
A Journey to Remember
Wow!!! What a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. That’s how the cyclists of CCS Cycling Superstar felt after completing the 20 kilometres cycling expedition on 31 January 2010 early morning.
This activity encourages many elderly to step out of their comfort zone and cycle together with the CCS Cycling Superstar cyclists. Indeed it was very courageous of them to take this challenge as for some, 20 kilometres cycling is not an easy feat. Yet they completed it with a big smile and also a knowledge that being mentally and physically fit at all times is highly important.
As they cycled along the route, they enjoyed the morning breeze and the beautiful scenery along the way. They encouraged one another to press on during the journey and challenged each other to reach the finishing line. Pedestrians seem surprised seeing this group of old folks cycling happily under the morning sun. They screamed words of encouragement to them and cheered them on, “You are doing great!”
End of the day, the cyclists learnt about teamwork and made new friends.
