Christina Allen founded Maryland's first Cycling Without Age chapter and pedals a trishaw about 2,000 miles a year. The rides are free. She takes seniors and people with disabilities to the farmers market, along the Three Notch Trail, or out with their grandchildren.

She still has room for more riders. The chapter does not charge for the seat.
