Cycling Without Age (CWA) is an organization that provides the elderly with trishaw rides to help them remain active. Trishaws are three wheeled bikes with front passenger seating. Some volunteers lack trishaws due to many constraints. Our goal is to provide CWA with a design for a web-based community platform. This open source platform will accommodate trishaw purchases or design downloads for significantly less money. Through interviews, surveys, and strategic observation, we identified desired platform features, user motivations, and interests.
