Our Mission

We are dedicated to promoting mobility and independence

by providing customized cycles to support rehabilitation therapy

to children with special needs in Floyd.

I am excited about helping youth through "Therapeutic Bicycles of Floyd." I know the amazing benefts this type of equipment can have on children with physical limitations. Not only will these bikes help them take part in more age-appropriate activities and help build confidence but they will bring so many health benefits as well. It is amazing to think that a piece of equipment can help with digestion, upright breathing patterns, promote appropriate bone growth, strengthening of different muscles, and so much more. So I view these therapeutic bikes as so much more than "bikes" but true "wheels of independence." I am excited to help children experience riding a bike for the first time and the fun it can bring.

I wanted to create an opportunity for youth in Floyd like my friend Nancy did when she founded Wheels on the James. Nancy's son and close friend of our family, Captain James Howard, sustained a spinal cord injury at age 28. James received a therapeutic cycle in a bike ride sponsored for disabled veterans. Through Therapeutic Bicycles of Floyd, I look forward to helping youth receive customized cycles to help increase mobility, independence, longevity, and smiles.
